= =================================

The soft lockup detector monitors CPUs for threads that are hogging the CPUs
|
||||
without rescheduling voluntarily, and thus prevent the 'watchdog/N' threads
|
||||
from running. The mechanism depends on the CPUs ability to respond to timer
|
||||
interrupts which are needed for the 'watchdog/N' threads to be woken up by
|
||||
the watchdog timer function, otherwise the NMI watchdog — if enabled — can
|
||||
detect a hard lockup condition.
