[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 6/7] ring-buffer: Avoid softlockup in ring_buffer_resize()

[Sasha Levin]

From: Zheng Yejian <zhengyejian1@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit f6bd2c92488c30ef53b5bd80c52f0a7eee9d545a ]

When user resize all trace ring buffer through file 'buffer_size_kb',
then in ring_buffer_resize(), kernel allocates buffer pages for each
cpu in a loop.

If the kernel preemption model is PREEMPT_NONE and there are many cpus
and there are many buffer pages to be allocated, it may not give up cpu
for a long time and finally cause a softlockup.

To avoid it, call cond_resched() after each cpu buffer allocation.
