From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de> Date: Thu, 2 Apr 2020 21:16:30 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] irq_poll: Use raise_softirq_irqoff() in cpu_dead notifier __raise_softirq_irqoff() adds a bit to the pending sofirq mask and this is it. The softirq won't be handled in a deterministic way but randomly when an interrupt fires and handles softirq in its irq_exit() routine or if something randomly checks and handles pending softirqs in the call chain before the CPU goes idle. Add a local_bh_disable/enable() around the IRQ-off section which will handle pending softirqs.
