From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 147f04b14adde831eb4a0a1e378667429732f9e8 ] If an RCU expedited grace period starts just when a CPU is in the process of going offline, so that the outgoing CPU has completed its pass through stop-machine but has not yet completed its final dive into the idle loop, RCU will attempt to enable that CPU's scheduling-clock tick via a call to tick_dep_set_cpu(). For this to happen, that CPU has to have been online when the expedited grace period completed its CPU-selection phase. This is pointless: The outgoing CPU has interrupts disabled, so it cannot take a scheduling-clock tick anyway. In addition, the tick_dep_set_cpu() function's eventual call to irq_work_queue_on() will splat as follows: smpboot: CPU 1 is now offline WARNING: CPU: 6 PID: 124 at kernel/irq_work.c:95 +irq_work_queue_on+0x57/0x60 Modules linked in: CPU: 6 PID: 124 Comm: kworker/6:2 Not tainted 5.15.0-rc1+ #3 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS +rel-1.14.0-0-g155821a-rebuilt.opensuse.org 04/01/2014 Workqueue: rcu_gp wait_rcu_exp_gp RIP: 0010:irq_work_queue_on+0x57/0x60 Code: 8b 05 1d c7 ea 62 a9 00 00 f0 00 75 21 4c 89 ce 44 89 c7 e8 +9b 37 fa ff ba 01 00 00 00 89 d0 c3 4c 89 cf e8 3b ff ff ff eb ee <0f> 0b eb b7 +0f 0b eb db 90 48 c7 c0 98 2a 02 00 65 48 03 05 91 6f RSP: 0000:ffffb12cc038fe48 EFLAGS: 00010282 RAX: 0000000000000001 RBX: 0000000000005208 RCX: 0000000000000020 RDX: 0000000000000001 RSI: 0000000000000001 RDI: ffff9ad01f45a680 RBP: 000000000004c990 R08: 0000000000000001 R09: ffff9ad01f45a680 R10: ffffb12cc0317db0 R11: 0000000000000001 R12: 00000000fffecee8 R13: 0000000000000001 R14: 0000000000026980 R15: ffffffff9e53ae00 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff9ad01f580000(0000) +knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000000000000000 CR3: 000000000de0c000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Call Trace: tick_nohz_dep_set_cpu+0x59/0x70 rcu_exp_wait_wake+0x54e/0x870 ? sync_rcu_exp_select_cpus+0x1fc/0x390 process_one_work+0x1ef/0x3c0 ? process_one_work+0x3c0/0x3c0 worker_thread+0x28/0x3c0 ? process_one_work+0x3c0/0x3c0 kthread+0x115/0x140 ? set_kthread_struct+0x40/0x40 ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30 ---[ end trace c5bf75eb6aa80bc6 ]--- This commit therefore avoids invoking tick_dep_set_cpu() on offlined CPUs to limit both futility and false-positive splats.
