Some code can go into a tight loop calling touch_nmi_watchdog (e.g., stop_machine CPU hotplug code). This can cause contention on watchdog locks particularly if all CPUs with watchdog enabled are spinning in the loops. Avoid this storm of activity by running the watchdog timer callback from this path if we have exceeded the timer period since it was last run.

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.
