From: Wanpeng Li <wanpeng.li@xxxxxxxxxxx> The dl task will be replenished after dl task timer fire and start a new period. It will be enqueued and to re-evaluate its dependency on the tick in order to restart it. However, if cpu is hot-unplug, irq_work_queue will splash since the target cpu is offline. As a result: WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 0 at kernel/irq_work.c:69 irq_work_queue_on+0xad/0xe0 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x99/0xd0 __warn+0xd1/0xf0 warn_slowpath_null+0x1d/0x20 irq_work_queue_on+0xad/0xe0 tick_nohz_full_kick_cpu+0x44/0x50 tick_nohz_dep_set_cpu+0x74/0xb0 enqueue_task_dl+0x226/0x480 activate_task+0x5c/0xa0 dl_task_timer+0x19b/0x2c0 ? push_dl_task.part.31+0x190/0x190 This can be triggered by hot-unplug the full dynticks cpu which dl task is running on. We enqueue the dl task on the offline CPU, because we need to do replenish for start_dl_timer(). So, as Juri pointed out, we would need to do is calling replenish_dl_entity() directly, instead of enqueue_task_dl(). pi_se shouldn't be a problem as the task shouldn't be boosted if it was throttled. This patch fix it by just replenish dl entity to avoid the intention to re-evaluate tick dependency if the cpu is offline.
