The stacks below would lead me to believe that the CPUs are idle. But the idle= value above says that RCU believes that this CPU was executing in non-idle process context when the interrupt occurred. OK, time to take a look at the IA64 idle loop. And I don't see any calls to rcu_idle_enter()... Please see below for my best guess as to where to place it and rcu_idle_exit() -- the rule is that there must be no use of RCU read-side critical sections between the call to the rcu_idle_enter() and the rcu_idle_exit(), so you probably know better than I where to put them. void __attribute__((noreturn)) cpu_idle (void) { void (*mark_idle)(int) = ia64_mark_idle; int cpu = smp_processor_id(); /* endless idle loop with no priority at all */ while (1) { rcu_idle_enter(); /* HERE */ if (can_do_pal_halt) { current_thread_info()->status &= ~TS_POLLING; /* * TS_POLLING-cleared state must be visible before we * test NEED_RESCHED: */ smp_mb(); } else { current_thread_info()->status |= TS_POLLING; } if (!need_resched()) { void (*idle)(void); #ifdef CONFIG_SMP min_xtp(); #endif rmb(); if (mark_idle) (*mark_idle)(1); idle = pm_idle; if (!idle) idle = default_idle; (*idle)(); if (mark_idle) (*mark_idle)(0); #ifdef CONFIG_SMP normal_xtp(); #endif } rcu_idle_exit(); /* AND HERE */ schedule_preempt_disabled(); check_pgt_cache(); if (cpu_is_offline(cpu)) play_dead(); } } Without the calls to rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit(), RCU has no way of knowing that the CPU is idle, so waits forever for a context switch. Ah, I bet I know what happened... I don't see tick_nohz_idle_enter(), so I would guess that there is no dyntick-idle, so the recent changes in dyntick-idle didn't cause rcu_idle_enter() to be added. I wonder how many other architectures don't do dyntick-idle? Looks like about 12 more. Probably need fixing as well... In the meantime, please let me know if the above additions fixes the problem for IA64.
