Thanks for let me know this.
The reason I trying linux-5.6-rt is that I have encountered other more serious issues on later RT version (even with v5.10-rc7-rt16), one of them
is CPU hot plug got stuck in irq_work_sync() which called by sugov_stop(), failure happen at 1st loop stress test every time.
I will try to collect more information and create another mail thread later.
Thanks & Regards,
Ran
