    scsi: hisi_sas: Add cond_resched() for no forced preemption model

    For no forced preemption model kernel, in the scenario where the
    expander is connected to 12 high performance SAS SSDs, the following
    call trace may occur:

    This is because in the hisi_sas driver, both the hardware interrupt
    handler and the interrupt thread are executed on the same CPU. In the
    performance test scenario, function irq_wait_for_interrupt() will always
    return 0 if lots of interrupts occurs and the CPU will be continuously
    consumed. As a result, the CPU cannot run the watchdog thread. When the
    watchdog time exceeds the specified time, call trace occurs.

    To fix it, add cond_resched() to execute the watchdog thread.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
