I've taken your kernel for a ride as a KVM guest (probably similar to what you are doing), and saw the same thing (CPU0 not offlining): [ 64.555845] Detected VIPT I-cache on CPU4 [ 64.556146] GICv3: CPU4: found redistributor 4 region 0:0x000000003ff70000 [ 64.556689] CPU4: Booted secondary processor 0x0000000004 [0x612f0290] [ 69.823670] rcu-torture:torture_onoff task: offline 0 failed: errno -16 [ 73.991960] psci: CPU7 killed (polled 0 ms) [ 74.239626] rcu-torture: rcu_torture_read_exit: Start of episode [ 74.243863] rcu-torture: rcu_torture_read_exit: End of episode I then tried v6.2-rc4 with defconfig + RCU_TORTURE and your command line, and CPU0 does seem to hotplug off correctly: [ 47.217109] psci: CPU3 killed (polled 0 ms) [ 52.241009] Detected VIPT I-cache on CPU3 [ 52.241227] cacheinfo: Unable to detect cache hierarchy for CPU 3 [ 52.241481] GICv3: CPU3: found redistributor 3 region 0:0x000000003ff50000 [ 52.241849] CPU3: Booted secondary processor 0x0000000003 [0x612f0290] [ 56.337011] psci: CPU0 killed (polled 0 ms) [...] [ 121.090339] rcu-torture: Free-Block Circulation: 922 920 919 918 917 916 914 913 912 911 0 [ 125.574311] Detected VIPT I-cache on CPU0 [ 125.574557] cacheinfo: Unable to detect cache hierarchy for CPU 0 [ 125.574901] GICv3: CPU0: found redistributor 0 region 0:0x000000003fef0000 [ 125.575322] CPU0: Booted secondary processor 0x0000000000 [0x612f0290] [ 130.176893] rcu-torture: rcu_torture_read_exit: Start of episode [ 130.317001] psci: CPU0 killed (polled 0 ms) [...] [ 225.588999] Detected VIPT I-cache on CPU0 [ 225.589224] cacheinfo: Unable to detect cache hierarchy for CPU 0 [ 225.589535] GICv3: CPU0: found redistributor 0 region 0:0x000000003fef0000 [ 225.589946] CPU0: Booted secondary processor 0x0000000000 [0x612f0290] No such error is being reported. Is there anything special in your config that would help triggering this with the current tip of tree? Thanks, M. -- Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.
