From 07c54cc5988f19c9642fd463c2dbdac7fc52f777 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov oleg@redhat.com Date: Tue, 28 May 2024 14:20:19 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] tick/nohz_full: Don't abuse smp_call_function_single() in tick_setup_device()
After the recent commit 5097cbcb38e6 ("sched/isolation: Prevent boot crash when the boot CPU is nohz_full") the kernel no longer crashes, but there is another problem.
In this case tick_setup_device() calls tick_take_do_timer_from_boot() to update tick_do_timer_cpu and this triggers the WARN_ON_ONCE(irqs_disabled) in smp_call_function_single().
Kill tick_take_do_timer_from_boot() and just use WRITE_ONCE(), the new comment explains why this is safe (thanks Thomas!).
