Hi Boqun,
Thank you for pointing me to the existing patches. I have tested both
Paul's patch [1] and TJ's workqueue patch [2] on my PowerPC system
(80 CPUs), and can confirm that the workqueue lockup issue is not
observed.
Can you try only paul's patch and confirm if the issue is fixed?
Hi Shrikanth,
I have verified Paul’s “alone” patch, and it resolves the issue no
workqueue lockups are observed.

Samir.
Test Environment:
- System: PowerPC with 80 CPUs ( e.g. PowerPC LPARs with 80 online
and 384 possible CPUs)
- Kernel version: Latest upstream (7.1-rc1)
Regression Testing Results:
All tests completed successfully with no issues observed:
- Hackbench
- Kernel selftests
- LTP scheduler tests
The workqueue lockup that was previously occurring is no longer
present with the patches applied.
