Christian Borntraeger reports: > After a logical cpu offline, even on a complete idle system, there > is one cpu with full ticks. It turns out that nohz.cpu_mask has the > the offlined cpu still set. > > In select_nohz_load_balancer() we check if the system is completely > idle to turn of load balancing. We compare cpu_online_map with > nohz.cpu_mask. Since cpu_online_map is updated on cpu unplug, > but nohz.cpu_mask is not, the check fails and the scheduler believes > that we need an "idle load balancer" even on a fully idle system. > Since the ilb cpu does not deactivate the timer tick this breaks NOHZ. Fix the select_nohz_load_balancer() to not set the nohz.cpu_mask while a cpu is going offline.
