A softlockup issue was found with stress test:

The stress test involves CPU hotplug operations and memory control group
(memcg) operations. The scenario can be described as follows:
echo xx > memory.max cache_ap_online oom_reaper
(CPU23) (CPU50)
xx < usage stop_machine_from_inactive_cpu
for(;;) // all active cpus
trigger OOM queue_stop_cpus_work
// waiting oom_reaper
multi_cpu_stop(migration/xx)
// sync all active cpus ack
// waiting cpu23 ack
// CPU50 loops in multi_cpu_stop
waiting cpu50
Detailed explanation:
1. When the usage is larger than xx, an OOM may be triggered. If the
process does not handle with ths kill signal immediately, it will loop
in the memory_max_write.
2. When cache_ap_online is triggered, the multi_cpu_stop is queued to the
active cpus. Within the multi_cpu_stop function, it attempts to
synchronize the CPU states. However, the CPU23 didn't acknowledge
because it is stuck in a loop within the for(;;).
3. The oom_reaper process is blocked because CPU50 is in a loop, waiting
for CPU23 to acknowledge the synchronization request.
4. Finally, it formed cyclic dependency and lead to softlockup and dead
loop.
To fix this issue, add cond_resched() in the memory_max_write, so that it
will not block migration task.

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 reStructuredText 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.
