[PATCH 6.11 512/558] tracing/timerlat: Fix duplicated kthread creation due to CPU online/offline

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



6.11-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Wei Li <liwei391@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 0bb0a5c12ecf36ad561542bbb95f96355e036a02 upstream.

osnoise_hotplug_workfn() is the asynchronous online callback for
"trace/osnoise:online". It may be congested when a CPU goes online and
offline repeatedly and is invoked for multiple times after a certain
online.

This will lead to kthread leak and timer corruption. Add a check
in start_kthread() to prevent this situation.
