A few functions are in the call chain of rcu_momentary_dyntick_idle() which is executed in multi_cpu_stop() and marked notrace. They are running in traced when ftrace modify code. This may cause non-ftrace_modify_code CPUs stall: [ 72.686113] rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt detected stalls on CPUs/tasks: [ 72.687344] rcu: 1-...!: (0 ticks this GP) idle=14f/1/0x4000000000000000 softirq=3397/3397 fqs=0 [ 72.687800] rcu: 3-...!: (0 ticks this GP) idle=ee9/1/0x4000000000000000 softirq=5168/5168 fqs=0 [ 72.688280] (detected by 0, t=8137 jiffies, g=5889, q=2 ncpus=4) [ 72.688739] Task dump for CPU 1: [ 72.688991] task:migration/1 state:R running task stack: 0 pid: 19 ppid: 2 flags:0x00000000 [ 72.689594] Stopper: multi_cpu_stop+0x0/0x18c <- stop_machine_cpuslocked+0x128/0x174 [ 72.690242] Call Trace: [ 72.690603] Task dump for CPU 3: [ 72.690761] task:migration/3 state:R running task stack: 0 pid: 29 ppid: 2 flags:0x00000000 [ 72.691135] Stopper: multi_cpu_stop+0x0/0x18c <- stop_machine_cpuslocked+0x128/0x174 [ 72.691474] Call Trace: [ 72.691733] rcu: rcu_preempt kthread timer wakeup didn't happen for 8136 jiffies! g5889 f0x0 RCU_GP_WAIT_FQS(5) ->state=0x402 [ 72.692180] rcu: Possible timer handling issue on cpu=2 timer-softirq=594 [ 72.692485] rcu: rcu_preempt kthread starved for 8137 jiffies! g5889 f0x0 RCU_GP_WAIT_FQS(5) ->state=0x402 ->cpu=2 [ 72.692876] rcu: Unless rcu_preempt kthread gets sufficient CPU time, OOM is now expected behavior.
