Subject: [PATCH 3/3] lib/irq_poll: Declare IRQ_POLL softirq vector as ksoftirqd-parking safe
Date: Tue,  8 Feb 2022 17:16:35 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220208161635.544701-4-frederic@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220208161635.544701-1-frederic@kernel.org>

The following warning may appear while setting a CPU down:

	NOHZ tick-stop error: Non-RCU local softirq work is pending, handler #20!!!

The IRQ_POLL_SOFTIRQ vector can be raised during the hotplug cpu_down()
path after ksoftirqd is parked and before the CPU actually dies. However
this is handled afterward at the CPUHP_IRQ_POLL_DEAD stage where the
queue gets migrated.

Hence this warning can be considered spurious and the vector can join
the "hotplug-safe" list.
