exit_itimers() loops through every timer in the process to delete it. This requires taking the system-wide hash_lock for each of these timers, and contends with other processes trying to create or delete timers. When a process creates hundreds of thousands of timers, and then exits while other processes contend with it, this can trigger softlockups on CONFIG_PREEMPT=n. Add a cond_resched() invocation into the loop to allow the system to make 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 reStructuredText 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.
