Patch series "initialize deferred pages with interrupts enabled", v4.
Keep interrupts enabled during deferred page initialization in order to
make code more modular and allow jiffies to update.
Original approach, and discussion can be found here:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200311123848.118638-1-shile.zhang@linux.alibaba.com
This patch (of 3):
deferred_init_memmap() disables interrupts the entire time, so it calls
touch_nmi_watchdog() periodically to avoid soft lockup splats. Soon it
will run with interrupts enabled, at which point cond_resched() should be
used instead.
deferred_grow_zone() makes the same watchdog calls through code shared
with deferred init but will continue to run with interrupts disabled, so
it can't call cond_resched().
Pull the watchdog calls up to these two places to allow the first to be
changed later, independently of the second. The frequency reduces from
twice per pageblock (init and free) to once per max order block.
Fixes:

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
