And (tentatively) a change in behavior! In one case, I did not see stall warnings (at least not until the ftrace dump at test end), but just the occasional "Waylayed timer" message: [ 1316.628105] schedule_timeout: Waylayed timer base->clk: 0x1000eff23 jiffies: 0x1000f8335 base->next_expiry: 0x1000eff23 timer->flags: 0x3c800006 timer->expires 0x1000f62ca idx: f2 idx_now: 139 base->pending_map 000000080000000000000000000000000000000000000000100400002000000000000000000000000000010000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 [ 1316.638372] Torture onoff task state: [ 1316.639774] rcu_preempt I14984 8 2 0x80000000 [ 1316.641766] Call Trace: [ 1316.642757] ? __schedule+0x33c/0x6f0 [ 1316.644109] ? trace_event_raw_event_timer_start+0x6d/0xb0 [ 1316.646042] schedule+0x37/0x90 [ 1316.647219] schedule_timeout+0x159/0x470 [ 1316.648825] ? __next_timer_interrupt+0xc0/0xc0 [ 1316.650459] rcu_gp_kthread+0x9ee/0x1090 [ 1316.652147] kthread+0xf0/0x130 [ 1316.653415] ? rcu_oom_notify+0xd0/0xd0 [ 1316.654790] ? kthread_destroy_worker+0x40/0x40 [ 1316.656470] ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30 If I am reading the waylay message correctly, the timer was delayed by about 8.3 seconds instead of the 21 seconds required to cause an RCU CPU stall warning. I am going to rearrange the ftrace-dump code a bit and run more tests.
