We try hard to select a suitable hole in the drm_mm first time. But if that is unsuccessful, we then have to look at neighbouring nodes, and this requires traversing the rbtree. Walking the rbtree can be slow (much slower than a linear list for deep trees), and if the drm_mm has been purposefully fragmented our search can be trapped for a long, long time. For non-preemptible kernels, we need to break up long CPU bound sections by manually checking for cond_resched(); similarly we should also bail out if we have been told to terminate. (In an ideal world, we would break for any signal, but we need to trade off having to perform the search again after ERESTARTSYS, which again may form a trap of making no forward progress.)

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.
