From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Kajol Jain Subject: [RFC v2] perf/core: Fixes hung issue on perf stat command during cpu hotplug Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2020 20:24:11 +0530 Message-ID: <20200826145411.489169-1-kjain@linux.ibm.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Return-path: Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org To: acme@kernel.org, peterz@infradead.org Cc: jolsa@redhat.com, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, linux-perf-users@vger.kernel.org, maddy@linux.ibm.com, mingo@redhat.com, mark.rutland@arm.com, alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com, namhyung@kernel.org, daniel@iogearbox.net, brho@google.com, srikar@linux.vnet.ibm.com, kjain@linux.ibm.com List-Id: linux-perf-users.vger.kernel.org Commit 2ed6edd33a21 ("perf: Add cond_resched() to task_function_call()") added assignment of ret value as -EAGAIN in case function call to 'smp_call_function_single' fails. For non-zero ret value, it did 'ret = !ret ? data.ret : -EAGAIN;', which always assign -EAGAIN to ret and make second if condition useless. In scenarios like when executing a perf stat with --per-thread option, and if any of the monitoring cpu goes offline, the 'smp_call_function_single' function could return -ENXIO, and with the above check, task_function_call hung and increases CPU usage (because of repeated 'smp_call_function_single()') Recration scenario: # perf stat -a --per-thread && (offline a CPU ) Patch here removes the tertiary condition added as part of that commit and added a check for NULL and -EAGAIN.
