[PATCH 1/2] mm: add cond_resched to generic_swapfile_activate

From: Mikulas Patocka
Date: Fri Jul 22 2016 - 17:11:31 EST


The function generic_swapfile_activate can take quite long time, it iterates
over all blocks of a file, so add cond_resched to it. I observed about 1 second
stalls when activating a swapfile that was almost unfragmented - this patch
fixes it.
