From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> mainline inclusion from mainline-v6.6-rc1 commit 2b8272ff4a70b866106ae13c36be7ecbef5d5da2 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I7Y6AQ Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?i... -------------------------------- Xiongfeng reported and debugged a self deadlock of the task which initiates and controls a CPU hot-unplug operation vs. the CFS bandwidth timer. CPU1 CPU2 T1 sets cfs_quota starts hrtimer cfs_bandwidth 'period_timer' T1 is migrated to CPU2 T1 initiates offlining of CPU1 Hotplug operation starts ... 'period_timer' expires and is re-enqueued on CPU1 ... take_cpu_down() CPU1 shuts down and does not handle timers anymore. They have to be migrated in the post dead hotplug steps by the control task. T1 runs the post dead offline operation T1 is scheduled out T1 waits for 'period_timer' to expire T1 waits there forever if it is scheduled out before it can execute the hrtimer offline callback hrtimers_dead_cpu(). Cure this by delegating the hotplug control operation to a worker thread on an online CPU. This takes the initiating user space task, which might be affected by the bandwidth timer, completely out of the picture.
