When user resize all trace ring buffer through file 'buffer_size_kb',
then in ring_buffer_resize(), kernel allocates buffer pages for each
cpu in a loop.
If the kernel preemption model is PREEMPT_NONE and there are many cpus
and there are many buffer pages to be freed, it may not give up cpu
for a long time and finally cause a softlockup.
To avoid it, call cond_resched() after each cpu buffer free as Commit
f6bd2c92488c ("ring-buffer: Avoid softlockup in ring_buffer_resize()")
does.
Detailed call trace as follow:
