From: Frederic Weisbecker <frederic@kernel.org> stable inclusion from stable-5.10.65 commit 13ccaef77ee86047033c50bf59cb19e0dda3aa97 bugzilla: 182361 https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I4EH3U Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=... -------------------------------- [ Upstream commit 406dd42bd1ba0c01babf9cde169bb319e52f6147 ] When an itimer deactivates a previously armed expiration, it simply doesn't do anything. As a result the process wide cputime counter keeps running and the tick dependency stays set until it reaches the old ghost expiration value. This can be reproduced with the following snippet: void trigger_process_counter(void) { struct itimerval n = {}; n.it_value.tv_sec = 100; setitimer(ITIMER_VIRTUAL, &n, NULL); n.it_value.tv_sec = 0; setitimer(ITIMER_VIRTUAL, &n, NULL); } Fix this with resetting the relevant base expiration. This is similar to disarming a timer.
