SubjectRepeated 'watchdog soft lockup' messages
Date
Due to a coding fubar (in my own driver) I managed to sleep
a process that held a spinlock.
Unluckily all 8 cpus ended up trying to acquire the spinlock
before the process woke.
As might be expected the system froze.

I'd got a serial console connected so could see the kernel messages.
It was almost continuously generating output saying that each
cpu was 'stuck for 22s!' (sometimes 23s).

What I don't understand is what was resetting the watchdog
so that I got multiple messages for each cpu at intervals
of (typically) 28 seconds.

The watchdog code seems to only output the trace once.
But that clearly wasn't working.
Any idea why?

kernel is 5.9.0
