The first RCU-based object iteration loop has to modify the object count. So we cannot skip taking the object lock. One way to avoid soft lockup is to insert occasional cond_resched() call into the loop. This cannot be done while holding the RCU read lock which is to protect objects from being freed. However, taking a reference to the object will prevent it from being freed. We can then do a cond_resched() call after every 64k objects safely.

README
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.
