When a large VM, specifically one that holds a significant number of PTEs, gets abruptly destroyed, the following warning is seen during the page-table walk: sched: CPU 0 need_resched set for > 100018840 ns (100 ticks) without schedule CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 9617 Comm: kvm_page_table_ Tainted: G O 6.16.0-smp-DEV #3 NONE Tainted: [O]=OOT_MODULE Call trace: show_stack+0x20/0x38 (C) dump_stack_lvl+0x3c/0xb8 dump_stack+0x18/0x30 resched_latency_warn+0x7c/0x88 sched_tick+0x1c4/0x268 update_process_times+0xa8/0xd8 tick_nohz_handler+0xc8/0x168 __hrtimer_run_queues+0x11c/0x338 hrtimer_interrupt+0x104/0x308 arch_timer_handler_phys+0x40/0x58 handle_percpu_devid_irq+0x8c/0x1b0 generic_handle_domain_irq+0x48/0x78 gic_handle_irq+0x1b8/0x408 call_on_irq_stack+0x24/0x30 do_interrupt_handler+0x54/0x78 el1_interrupt+0x44/0x88 el1h_64_irq_handler+0x18/0x28 el1h_64_irq+0x84/0x88 stage2_free_walker+0x30/0xa0 (P) __kvm_pgtable_walk+0x11c/0x258 __kvm_pgtable_walk+0x180/0x258 __kvm_pgtable_walk+0x180/0x258 __kvm_pgtable_walk+0x180/0x258 kvm_pgtable_walk+0xc4/0x140 kvm_pgtable_stage2_destroy+0x5c/0xf0 kvm_free_stage2_pgd+0x6c/0xe8 kvm_uninit_stage2_mmu+0x24/0x48 kvm_arch_flush_shadow_all+0x80/0xa0 kvm_mmu_notifier_release+0x38/0x78 __mmu_notifier_release+0x15c/0x250 exit_mmap+0x68/0x400 __mmput+0x38/0x1c8 mmput+0x30/0x68 exit_mm+0xd4/0x198 do_exit+0x1a4/0xb00 do_group_exit+0x8c/0x120 get_signal+0x6d4/0x778 do_signal+0x90/0x718 do_notify_resume+0x70/0x170 el0_svc+0x74/0xd8 el0t_64_sync_handler+0x60/0xc8 el0t_64_sync+0x1b0/0x1b8 The warning is seen majorly on the host kernels that are configured not to force-preempt, such as CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y. To avoid this, instead of walking the entire page-table in one go, split it into smaller ranges, by checking for cond_resched() between each range. Since the path is executed during VM destruction, after the page-table structure is unlinked from the KVM MMU, relying on cond_resched_rwlock_write() isn't necessary.

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.
