So it looks like CPU 1 detects that the rcu_preempt kthread isn't scheduled, despite the fact that all quiescent states were seen. So it looks like there is no RCU usage bug in here, but a legitimate CPU starvation issue as far as I can see. I have some noob questions: - Is my system (hardware, drivers, kernel config) misconfigured? This can be reproduced at least on the NXP LS1028A running today's master branch with just the arm64 defconfig. On other hardware however (NXP T1040 PowerPC), RT throttling kicks in faster and the system doesn't hang (more below). - What is the expected behavior of a system to this hrtimer test? Intuitively I would say the kenel shouldn't hang, but I don't exactly know what are the mechanisms to avoid that. Below are 2 things I tried. - I tried to enable CONFIG_RCU_BOOST and had limited success. I could get rid of the RCU stall messages but the system would still hang after a longer while. When it hanged, it didn't even respond to ping from the outside, no shell, only magic sysrq could restart the kernel. - I read a little bit of the "Limiting the CPU usage of real-time and deadline processes" chapter from man 7 sched. Is this what I should be doing? My /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_period_us and /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_runtime_us are set to their default values (RT period 1 second, RT runtime .95 seconds), why isn't that enough? If I reduce the RT runtime to .8 seconds while keeping the period at 1 second, RT throttling (finally!) kicks in and the system does not die. The RCU stall warning does keep, however, getting printed continuously.
