Subject[PATCH] [RFC] rt: kernel/sched/core: fix kthread_park() pending too long when CPU un-plugged
Date
When doing CPU un-plug stress test, function smpboot_park_threads() would
get call to park kernel threads (which including ksoftirqd) on that
CPU core, and function wait_task_inactive() would yield for those queued
task(s) by calling schedule_hrtimerout() with mode of HRTIMER_MODE_REL.

stack trace:
...
smpboot_thread_fn
cpuhp_thread_fun
cpuhp_invoke_callback
smpboot_park_threads
smpboot_park_thread: ksoftirqd/1
kthread_park
wait_task_inactive
schedule_hrtimerout

However, when PREEMPT_RT is set, this would cause a pending issue since
schedule_hrtimerout() depend on thread ksoftirqd to complete related
work if it using HRTIMER_MODE_SOFT. So force using HRTIMER_MODE_HARD
in such case.
