Unfortunately the same issue can happen (with only one cpu) as follows: do_adjtimex() write_seqlock_irq(&xtime_lock); process_adjtimex_modes() process_adj_status() ntp_start_leap_timer() hrtimer_start() hrtimer_reprogram() tick_program_event() clockevents_program_event() ktime_get() seq = req_seqbegin(xtime_lock); [DEADLOCK] This deadlock will no always occur, as it requires the leap_timer to force a hrtimer_reprogram which only happens if its set and there's no sooner timer to expire. NOTE: This patch, being faithful to the original commit, introduces a bug (we don't update wall_to_monotonic), which will be resovled by backporting a following fix. Original commit message below: Since commit 7dffa3c673fbcf835cd7be80bb4aec8ad3f51168 the ntp subsystem has used an hrtimer for triggering the leapsecond adjustment. However, this can cause a potential livelock. Thomas diagnosed this as the following pattern: CPU 0 CPU 1 do_adjtimex() spin_lock_irq(&ntp_lock); process_adjtimex_modes(); timer_interrupt() process_adj_status(); do_timer() ntp_start_leap_timer(); write_lock(&xtime_lock); hrtimer_start(); update_wall_time(); hrtimer_reprogram(); ntp_tick_length() tick_program_event() spin_lock(&ntp_lock); clockevents_program_event() ktime_get() seq = req_seqbegin(xtime_lock); This patch tries to avoid the problem by reverting back to not using an hrtimer to inject leapseconds, and instead we handle the leapsecond processing in the second_overflow() function. The downside to this change is that on systems that support highres timers, the leap second processing will occur on a HZ tick boundary, (ie: ~1-10ms, depending on HZ) after the leap second instead of possibly sooner (~34us in my tests w/ x86_64 lapic). This patch applies on top of tip/timers/core.
