Vince reported a watchdog lockup like: [] perf_tp_event+0xc4/0x210 [] perf_trace_lock+0x12a/0x160 [] lock_release+0x130/0x260 [] _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x24/0x40 [] do_send_sig_info+0x5d/0x80 [] send_sigio_to_task+0x12f/0x1a0 [] send_sigio+0xae/0x100 [] kill_fasync+0x97/0xf0 [] perf_event_wakeup+0xd4/0xf0 [] perf_pending_event+0x33/0x60 [] irq_work_run_list+0x4c/0x80 [] irq_work_run+0x18/0x40 [] smp_trace_irq_work_interrupt+0x3f/0xc0 [] trace_irq_work_interrupt+0x6d/0x80 Which is caused by an irq_work generating new irq_work and therefore not allowing forward progress. This happens because processing the perf irq_work triggers another perf event (tracepoint stuff) which in turn generates an irq_work ad infinitum. Avoid this by raising the recursion counter in the irq_work -- which effectively disables all software events (including tracepoints) from actually triggering again.
