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:

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().
