Subject: [Regression]: NMI watchdog regression from v4.19 onwards

Hi Peter, Oleg,

NMI watchdog fires systematically on my machine with recent Kernels, 
whereas the NMI watch is supposed to be disabled:

# cat /proc/sys/kernel/watchdog
0
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
0

It always triggers on isolated CPUs (CPU6 and CPU7 out of 8 CPUs are
isolated). This is the Kernel cmdline:

BOOT_IMAGE=(hd0,msdos1)/vmlinuz-5.0.0 root=/dev/mapper/rhel_xxxxx-root 
ro crashkernel=auto resume=/dev/mapper/rhel_xxxxx-swap 
rd.lvm.lv=rhel_xxxxx/root rd.lvm.lv=rhel_xxxxx/swap console=ttyS1,115200 
skew_tick=1 isolcpus=6-7 intel_pstate=disable nosoftlockup nohz=on 
nohz_full=6-7 rcu_nocbs=6-7 skew_tick=1 isolcpus=6-7 
intel_pstate=disable nosoftlockup nohz=on nohz_full=6-7 rcu_nocbs=6-7


Just setting this command line is not enough to reproduce the issue.
The system uses tuned with realtime-virtual-host profile [0], which
among other tunings disables NMI watchdog through its sysctl interface.

I have tried to manually write same sysctls with same values by
strace'ing tuned daemon, but it does not reproduce the issue. So
there is certainly something more to do to trigger it.

As the issue does not reproduce on Kernel v4.18, I have managed to
bisect it down to one of your commit:

watchdog/softlockup: Replace "watchdog/%u" threads with cpu_stop_work

------
commit 9cf57731b63e37ed995b46690adc604891a9a28f (HEAD)
Author: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>
Date:   Thu Jun 7 10:52:03 2018 +0200

     watchdog/softlockup: Replace "watchdog/%u" threads with cpu_stop_work

     Oleg suggested to replace the "watchdog/%u" threads with
     cpu_stop_work. That removes one thread per CPU while at the same time
     fixes softlockup vs SCHED_DEADLINE.

     But more importantly, it does away with the single
     smpboot_update_cpumask_percpu_thread() user, which allows
     cleanups/shrinkage of the smpboot interface.

I'll continue to try to reproduce it manually, without tuned, but
maybe that does ring a bell for you?

I have my machine available for any tests you might find useful to
run.

Maxime
