Revision 26c5c6e129ee725f103938262a034861ada467ae authored by Nicholas Piggin on 09 August 2017, 12:41:23 UTC, committed by Michael Ellerman on 09 August 2017, 13:45:29 UTC
Some code can go into a tight loop calling touch_nmi_watchdog (e.g.,
stop_machine CPU hotplug code). This can cause contention on watchdog
locks particularly if all CPUs with watchdog enabled are spinning in
the loops.

Avoid this storm of activity by running the watchdog timer callback
from this path if we have exceeded the timer period since it was last
run.
