mm/vmalloc.c: add a schedule point to vmalloc()
It is not uncommon on busy servers to get stuck hundred of ms in vmalloc() calls (like file descriptor expansions). Add a cond_resched() to __vmalloc_area_node() to be gentle to other tasks. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: only do it for __GFP_WAIT, per David] Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Acked-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
