CFS bandwidth control hits hard lockup warnings

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

We are seeing hard lockup warnings caused by CFS bandwidth control code. The
test case below fails almost immediately on a reasonably large (144 thread)
POWER9 guest with:

Adding CPUs, or adding empty cgroups makes the situation worse. We haven't
had a chance to dig deeper yet.

Note: The test case makes no attempt to clean up after itself and sometimes
takes my guest down :)

Thanks,
