From: Xiongfeng Wang <wangxiongfeng2@huawei.com> Offering: HULK hulk inclusion category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/ICLMXT -------------------------------- When testing softirq based hrtimers on an ARM32 board, with high resolution mode and nohz are both inactive, softirq based hrtimers failed to trigger when moved away from an offline CPU. The flowpath is as follows. CPU0 CPU1 softirq based hrtimers are queued offline CPU1 move hrtimers to CPU0 in hrtimers_cpu_dying() send IPI to CPU0 to retrigger next event 'softirq_expires_next' is KTIME_MAX call retrigger_next_event() highres and nohz is inactive,just return 'softirq_expires_next' is not updated hrtimer softirq is never triggered Some softirq based hrtimers are queued on CPU1. Then we offline CPU1. hrtimers_cpu_dying() moves hrtimers from CPU1 to CPU0, and then it send a IPI to CPU0 to let CPU0 call retrigger_next_event(). But high resolution mode and nohz are both inactive. So retrigger_next_event() just returned. 'softirq_expires_next' is never updated and remains KTIME_MAX. So hrtimer softirq is never raised. To fix this issue, we call hrtimer_update_next_event() in hrtimers_cpu_dying() to update 'softirq_expires_next' for the new CPU. It also update hardirq hrtimer's next event, but it should have no bad effect.
