So TZ10 is a temperature sensor of some kind on your motherboard. In
your v5.6 dmesg there is:
| thermal LNXTHERM:00: registered as thermal_zone0
| ACPI: Thermal Zone [TZ10] (17 C)
So. In /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/device/path you should also see
TZ10. And /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp should show the actual
value.
This comes from the "thermal" module.
Looking at the trace, might query the temperature every second which
somehow results in "Dispatching Notify on". I don't understand how it
gets from reading of the temperature to the notify part, maybe it is
part of the ACPI…
However. Could you please make sure that the thermal module is not
loaded at system startup? Adding
thermal.off=1
to the kernel commandline should do the trick. And you should see
thermal control disabled
in dmesg. That means your thermal_zone0 with TZ10 does not show up in
/sys and nothing should schedule the work-items. This in turn should
allow you to shutdown your system without the delay.
If this works, could you please try to load the module with tzp=300?
If you add this
thermal.tzp=300
to the kernel commandline then it should do the trick. You can verify it
by
cat /sys/module/thermal/parameters/tzp
This should change the polling interval from what ACPI says to 30secs.
This should ensure that you don't have so many worker waiting. So you
should also be able to shutdown the system.
