Subject: [PATCH 4.10 73/75] kasan: resched in quarantine_remove_cache()

4.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@...gle.com>

commit 68fd814a3391c7e017ae6ace8855788748edd981 upstream.

We see reported stalls/lockups in quarantine_remove_cache() on machines
with large amounts of RAM.  quarantine_remove_cache() needs to scan
whole quarantine in order to take out all objects belonging to the
cache.  Quarantine is currently 1/32-th of RAM, e.g.  on a machine with
256GB of memory that will be 8GB.  Moreover quarantine scanning is a
walk over uncached linked list, which is slow.

Add cond_resched() after scanning of each non-empty batch of objects.
Batches are specifically kept of reasonable size for quarantine_put().
On a machine with 256GB of RAM we should have ~512 non-empty batches,
each with 16MB of objects.
