    mm: hugetlb: avoid soft lockup when mprotect to large memory area

    When calling mprotect() to a large hugetlb memory area in our customer's
    workload (~300GB hugetlb memory), soft lockup was observed:

    Soft lockup is not triggered with THP or base page because there is
    cond_resched() called for each PMD size.

    Although the soft lockup was triggered by MTE, it should be not MTE
    specific.  The other processing which takes long time in the loop may
    trigger soft lockup too.

    So add cond_resched() for hugetlb to avoid soft lockup.

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.");
