With large memory (8TB and more) hotplug, we can get soft lockup
warnings as below. These were caused by a long loop without any
explicit cond_resched which is a problem for !PREEMPT kernels.
Avoid this using cond_resched() while inserting hash page table
entries. We already do similar cond_resched() in __add_pages(), see
commit f64ac5e6e3 ("mm, memory_hotplug: add scheduling point to
__add_pages").

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
