In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dm crypt: add cond_resched() to dmcrypt_write() The loop in dmcrypt_write may be running for unbounded amount of time, thus we need cond_resched() in it. This commit fixes the following warning: [ 3391.153255][ C12] watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#12 stuck for 23s! [dmcrypt_write/2:2897] ...
