powerpc: irq work racing with timer interrupt can result in timer interrupt hang
I am seeing an issue where a CPU running perf eventually hangs.
Traces show timer interrupts happening every 4 seconds even
when a userspace task is running on the CPU. /proc/timer_list
also shows pending hrtimers have not run in over an hour,
including the scheduler.
Looking closer, decrementers_next_tb is getting set to
0xffffffffffffffff, and at that point we will never take
a timer interrupt again.
In __timer_interrupt() we set decrementers_next_tb to
0xffffffffffffffff and rely on ->event_handler to update it:
*next_tb = ~(u64)0;
if (evt->event_handler)
evt->event_handler(evt);
In this case ->event_handler is hrtimer_interrupt. This will eventually
call back through the clockevents code with the next event to be
programmed:
static int decrementer_set_next_event(unsigned long evt,
struct clock_event_device *dev)
{
/* Don't adjust the decrementer if some irq work is pending */
if (test_irq_work_pending())
return 0;
__get_cpu_var(decrementers_next_tb) = get_tb_or_rtc() + evt;
If irq work came in between these two points, we will return
before updating decrementers_next_tb and we never process a timer
interrupt again.
This looks to have been introduced by 0215f7d8c5
(powerpc: Fix races
with irq_work). Fix it by removing the early exit and relying on
code later on in the function to force an early decrementer:
/* We may have raced with new irq work */
if (test_irq_work_pending())
set_dec(1);
