Hi, Valdis Klētnieks Thank you for taking the time to respond to me. I have a better understanding of this matter. >> Can I draw the conclusion that continually acquiring the spinlock causes the soft >> lockup and the CPU has been stuck for 22s? >> Can I think in this way? >No. It's been stuck for 22s *TRYING* and *FAILING* to get the spinlock. I see. So there is a thread that has held the corresponding spinlock for more 22s, and a CPU is sticking(busy acquiring the spinlock) at the same duration. Can I think in this way? Thank you for your attention to this matter. Best Regards.
