Subject: [REGRESSION] Random 'clocksource: Watchdog remote CPU ?? read timed out'
Date: Mon, 3 Aug 2026 16:45:58 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <anDFxqll6Pb05RmC@gallifrey> (raw)

Hi all,
  I've noticed in my logs on every boot since 7.1.x a:

[    6.749566] clocksource: Watchdog remote CPU 11 read timed out

with the CPU being different each time.  There's no apparent bad
side effects or anything, but it seemed worth reporting and I noticed
It's only one each boot as far as I can tell.

I checked back through journalctl -b -...  and the first time I got
it was the first 7.1.x boot, and I remember seeing this during rc's
as well but that was on a bit of a random build.

The current ones are happening on Fedora's 7.1.5-201.fc44.x86_64
