[PATCH v2] tick/broadcast: Do not set oneshot_mask except was_periodic was true
From: Victor Hassan
Date: Tue Apr 11 2023 - 20:34:07 EST
If a broadcast timer is registered after the system switched to oneshot
mode, a hang_task err could occur like that:
INFO: task kworker/u15:0:7 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
Tainted: G E 5.15.41-android13-8-00002-xxx #1
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

When the new broadcast timer was registered after the system switched
to oneshot mode, the broadcast timer was not used as periodic. If the
oneshot mask was set incorrectly, all cores which did not enter cpu_idle
state can't enter cpu_idle normally, causing the hrtimer mechanism to
break. Like:
* CPU 1 stop its tick, next event is in one hour. It calls
tick_broadcast_enter() and goes to sleep.
* CPU 1 gets an interrupt that enqueues a new timer expiring in the next jiffy
(note it's not yet actually programmed in the tick device)
* CPU 1 call tick_broadcast_exit().
* CPU 0 registers new broadcast device and sets CPU 1 in tick_broadcast_oneshot_mask
* CPU 0 runs the broadcast callback, sees that the next timer for CPU 1
is in one hour (because the recently enqueued timer for CPU 1 hasn't been programmed
yet), so it programs the broadcast to that 1 hour deadline.
* CPU 1 runs tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() which eventually writes and program
dev->next_event to next jiffy
* CPU 1 runs into cpuidle_enter_state(), and tick_broadcast_enter() is ignored because
the CPU is already in tick_broadcast_oneshot_mask, so the dev->next_event
change isn't propagated to broadcast.
* CPU 1 goes to sleep for 1 hour.
This patch fixes the issue by moving the update action about oneshot
mask to a more strict conditions. The tick_broadcast_setup_oneshot would
be called in two typical condition, and they all will work.
1. tick_handle_periodic -> tick_broadcast_setup_oneshot
The origin broadcast was periodic, so it can set the oneshot_mask bits
for those waiting for periodic broadcast and program the broadcast timer
to fire.
2. tick_install_broadcast_device -> tick_broadcast_setup_oneshot
The origin broadcast was oneshot, so the cores which enter the cpu_idle
already used the oneshot_mask bits. It is unnecessary to update the
oneshot_mask.
