commit febac332a819f0e764aa4da62757ba21d18c182b upstream. Kernel crashes inside QEMU/KVM are observed: kernel BUG at kernel/time/timer.c:1154! BUG_ON(timer_pending(timer) || !timer->function) in add_timer_on(). At the same time another cpu got: general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI of poinson pointer 0xdead000000000200 in: __hlist_del at include/linux/list.h:681 (inlined by) detach_timer at kernel/time/timer.c:818 (inlined by) expire_timers at kernel/time/timer.c:1355 (inlined by) __run_timers at kernel/time/timer.c:1686 (inlined by) run_timer_softirq at kernel/time/timer.c:1699 Unfortunately kernel logs are badly scrambled, stacktraces are lost. Printing the timer->function before the BUG_ON() pointed to clocksource_watchdog(). The execution of clocksource_watchdog() can race with a sequence of clocksource_stop_watchdog() .. clocksource_start_watchdog(): expire_timers() detach_timer(timer, true); timer->entry.pprev = NULL; raw_spin_unlock_irq(&base->lock); call_timer_fn clocksource_watchdog() clocksource_watchdog_kthread() or clocksource_unbind() spin_lock_irqsave(&watchdog_lock, flags); clocksource_stop_watchdog(); del_timer(&watchdog_timer); watchdog_running = 0; spin_unlock_irqrestore(&watchdog_lock, flags); spin_lock_irqsave(&watchdog_lock, flags); clocksource_start_watchdog(); add_timer_on(&watchdog_timer, ...); watchdog_running = 1; spin_unlock_irqrestore(&watchdog_lock, flags); spin_lock(&watchdog_lock); add_timer_on(&watchdog_timer, ...); BUG_ON(timer_pending(timer) || !timer->function); timer_pending() -> true BUG() I.e. inside clocksource_watchdog() watchdog_timer could be already armed. Check timer_pending() before calling add_timer_on(). This is sufficient as all operations are synchronized by watchdog_lock.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
