In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

RDMA/hns: Fix soft lockup during bt pages loop

Driver runs a for-loop when allocating bt pages and mapping them with
buffer pages. When a large buffer (e.g. MR over 100GB) is being allocated,
it may require a considerable loop count. This will lead to soft lockup:

        watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#27 stuck for 22s!
        ...
        Call trace:

Add a cond_resched() to fix soft lockup during these loops. In order not
to affect the allocation performance of normal-size buffer, set the loop
count of a 100GB MR as the threshold to call cond_resched().
