When presented with large amounts of memory being hotplugged
(in my test case, ~890GB), the call to flush_dcache_range takes
a while (~50 seconds), triggering RCU stalls.
This patch breaks up the call into 1GB chunks, calling
cond_resched() inbetween to allow the scheduler to run.

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 Restructured Text 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.
