Prevent going idle with softirq pending
The NOHZ patch contains a check for softirqs pending when a CPU goes idle. The BUG is unrelated to NOHZ, it just was made visible by the NOHZ patch. The BUG showed up mainly on P4 / hyperthreading enabled machines which lead the investigations into the wrong direction in the first place. The real cause is in cond_resched_softirq(): cond_resched_softirq() is enabling softirqs without invoking the softirq daemon when softirqs are pending. This leads to the warning message in the NOHZ idle code: t1 runs softirq disabled code on CPU#0 interrupt happens, softirq is raised, but deferred (softirqs disabled) t1 calls cond_resched_softirq() enables softirqs via _local_bh_enable() calls schedule() t2 runs t1 is migrated to CPU#1 t2 is done and invokes idle() NOHZ detects the pending softirq Fix: change _local_bh_enable() to local_bh_enable() so the softirq daemon is invoked. Thanks to Anant Nitya for debugging this with great patience !
