From: Wen Yang <wenyang.linux@xxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit a7e282c77785c7eabf98836431b1f029481085ad ] The ratelimit logic in report_idle_softirq() is broken because the exit condition is always true: static int ratelimit; if (ratelimit < 10) return false; ---> always returns here ratelimit++; ---> no chance to run Make it check for >= 10 instead.
