I'm no longer using the affected machine, so no > promises. Actually someone reported me a very similar issue than yours lately. It's probably the same. And I have a potential fix. The scenario is a bit tricky again, and still theoretical. If you're interested in gory details: a tick which is scheduled at jiffies = N + 1, in order to expire a timer_list timer, fires a tiny bit too early (ie: very few microseconds in advance). So it doesn't update the jiffies on irq entry and still sees jiffies = N. The timer_list timer doesnt expire yet and on IRQ exit we reschedule the tick at the same time. But we see that ts->next_tick already has that value, therefore we don't reprogram it again, leaving the clockevent unprogrammed. So in case you have the time and opportunity to test the fix, you'll need to: 1) Revert back to the offending change: git revert 558e8e27e73f53f8a512485be538b07115fe5f3c 2) Apply a delta fix: diff --git a/kernel/time/tick-sched.c b/kernel/time/tick-sched.c index a3b8154..ae66515 100644 --- a/kernel/time/tick-sched.c +++ b/kernel/time/tick-sched.c @@ -1071,8 +1071,10 @@ static void tick_nohz_handler(struct clock_event_device *dev) tick_sched_handle(ts, regs); /* No need to reprogram if we are running tickless */ - if (unlikely(ts->tick_stopped)) + if (unlikely(ts->tick_stopped)) { + ts->next_tick = 0; return; + } hrtimer_forward(&ts->sched_timer, now, tick_period); tick_program_event(hrtimer_get_expires(&ts->sched_timer), 1); @@ -1172,8 +1174,10 @@ static enum hrtimer_restart tick_sched_timer(struct hrtimer *timer) tick_sched_handle(ts, regs); /* No need to reprogram if we are in idle or full dynticks mode */ - if (unlikely(ts->tick_stopped)) + if (unlikely(ts->tick_stopped)) { + ts->next_tick = 0; return HRTIMER_NORESTART; + } hrtimer_forward(timer, now, tick_period); Thanks! --ReaqsoxgOBHFXBhH Content-Type: text/x-diff; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="pavel.diff" diff --git a/kernel/time/tick-sched.c b/kernel/time/tick-sched.c index a3b8154..ae66515 100644 --- a/kernel/time/tick-sched.c +++ b/kernel/time/tick-sched.c @@ -1071,8 +1071,10 @@ static void tick_nohz_handler(struct clock_event_device *dev) tick_sched_handle(ts, regs); /* No need to reprogram if we are running tickless */ - if (unlikely(ts->tick_stopped)) + if (unlikely(ts->tick_stopped)) { + ts->next_tick = 0; return; + } hrtimer_forward(&ts->sched_timer, now, tick_period); tick_program_event(hrtimer_get_expires(&ts->sched_timer), 1); @@ -1172,8 +1174,10 @@ static enum hrtimer_restart tick_sched_timer(struct hrtimer *timer) tick_sched_handle(ts, regs); /* No need to reprogram if we are in idle or full dynticks mode */ - if (unlikely(ts->tick_stopped)) + if (unlikely(ts->tick_stopped)) { + ts->next_tick = 0; return HRTIMER_NORESTART; + } hrtimer_forward(timer, now, tick_period); --ReaqsoxgOBHFXBhH--
