I've been tracking down an issue on a ~5.17ish kernel where:
CPUx CPUy
<DL task p0 owns an rtmutex M>
<p0 depletes its runtime, gets throttled>
<rq switches to the idle task>
<DL task p1 blocks on M, boost/replenish p0>
<No call to resched_curr() happens here>
[idle task keeps running here until *something*
accidentally sets TIF_NEED_RESCHED]
On that kernel, it is quite easy to trigger using rt-tests's deadline_test
[1] with the test running on isolated CPUs (this reduces the chance of
something unrelated setting TIF_NEED_RESCHED on the idle tasks, making the
issue even more obvious as the hung task detector chimes in).
I haven't been able to reproduce this using a mainline kernel, even if I
revert
2972e3050e35 ("tracing: Make trace_marker{,_raw} stream-like")
which gets rid of the lock involved in the above test, *but* I cannot
convince myself the issue isn't there from looking at the code.
Make prio_changed_dl() issue a reschedule if the current task isn't a
deadline one. While at it, ensure a reschedule is emitted when a
queued-but-not-current task gets boosted with an earlier deadline that
current's.

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.
