On !PREEMPT kernel, we can get below softlockup when doing stress testing with creating and destroying block cgroup repeatly. The reason is it may take a long time to acquire the queue's lock in the loop of blkcg_destroy_blkgs(), or the system can accumulate a huge number of blkgs in pathological cases. We can add a need_resched() check on each loop and release locks and do cond_resched() if true to avoid this issue, since the blkcg_destroy_blkgs() is not called from atomic contexts.
