zram: cond_resched() in writeback loop
zram writeback is a costly operation, because every target slot (unless
ZRAM_HUGE) is decompressed before it gets written to a backing device.
The writeback to a backing device uses submit_bio_wait() which may look
like a rescheduling point. However, if the backing device has
BD_HAS_SUBMIT_BIO bit set __submit_bio() calls directly
disk->fops->submit_bio(bio) on the backing device and so when
submit_bio_wait() calls blk_wait_io() the I/O is already done. On such
systems we effective end up in a loop
for_each (target slot) {
decompress(slot)
__submit_bio()
disk->fops->submit_bio(bio)
}
Which on PREEMPT_NONE systems triggers watchdogs (since there are no
explicit rescheduling points). Add cond_resched() to the zram writeback
loop.
