[ Upstream commit 5c66d1b9b30f737fcef85a0b75bfe0590e16b62a ] dequeue_task_rt() only decrements 'rt_rq->rt_nr_running' after having called sched_update_tick_dependency() preventing it from re-enabling the tick on systems that no longer have pending SCHED_RT tasks but have multiple runnable SCHED_OTHER tasks: dequeue_task_rt() dequeue_rt_entity() dequeue_rt_stack() dequeue_top_rt_rq() sub_nr_running() // decrements rq->nr_running sched_update_tick_dependency() sched_can_stop_tick() // checks rq->rt.rt_nr_running, ... __dequeue_rt_entity() dec_rt_tasks() // decrements rq->rt.rt_nr_running ... Every other scheduler class performs the operation in the opposite order, and sched_update_tick_dependency() expects the values to be updated as such. So avoid the misbehaviour by inverting the order in which the above operations are performed in the RT scheduler.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. 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.
