softirq: Don't try waking ksoftirqd before it has been spawned
mainline inclusion from mainline-v5.13-rc1 commit 1c0c4bc1 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I6O293 Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=1c0c4bc1ceb580851b2d76fdef9712b3bdae134b -------------------------------- If there is heavy softirq activity, the softirq system will attempt to awaken ksoftirqd and will stop the traditional back-of-interrupt softirq processing. This is all well and good, but only if the ksoftirqd kthreads already exist, which is not the case during early boot, in which case the system hangs. One reproducer is as follows: tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/bin/kvm.sh --allcpus --duration 2 --configs "TREE03" --kconfig "CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE=y CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC=n" --bootargs "threadirqs=1" --trust-make This commit therefore adds a couple of existence checks for ksoftirqd and forces back-of-interrupt softirq processing when ksoftirqd does not yet exist. With this change, the above test passes. Reported-by:Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de> Reported-by:
