Subject: [PATCH][V2] nommu: yield CPU while disposing VM
Date: Tue, 16 Nov 2010 07:06:45 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1289912805-4143-1-git-send-email-steve@digidescorp.com> (raw)
Depending on processor speed, page size, and the amount of memory a process
is allowed to amass, cleanup of a large VM may freeze the system for many
seconds. This can result in a watchdog timeout.
Make sure other tasks receive some service when cleaning up large VMs.
