softlockup检测(watchdog)原理(用于检测系统调度是否正常)

softlockup(watchdog)用于检测系统调度是否正常&＃xff0c;即软锁的情况&＃xff0c;当发生softlockup时&＃xff0c;内核不能调度&＃xff0c;但还能响应中断&＃xff0c;对用户的表现可能为&＃xff1a;能ping通&＃xff0c;但无法登陆系统&＃xff0c;无法进行正常操作。
其基本原理为&＃xff1a;为每个CPU启动一个内核线程(watchdog/x)&＃xff0c;此线程为优先级最高的实时线程&＃xff0c;在该线程得到调度时&＃xff0c;会更新相应的计数(时间戳)&＃xff0c;同时会启动定时器&＃xff0c;当定时器到期时检查相应的时间戳&＃xff0c;如果超过指定时间&＃xff0c;都没有更新&＃xff0c;则说明这段时间内都没有发生调度(因为此线程优先级最高)&＃xff0c;则打印相应告警或根据配置可以进入panic流程。
