I have seen this issue for noble:linux-lowlatency 6.8.0-48.48.3 on openstack:cpu2-ram4-disk20 (arm64). (SRU Cycle: 2024.09.30)
I think this test is flaky. To check if "cpuhotplug_do_spin_loop" it uses "ps psr" command where "r" option lists the currently running processes only. Even if a "cpuhotplug_do_spin_loop" process did migrate to target CPU, this does not mean that it is currently running there (as it can be preempted by availability of other tasks). And for architectures with lower number of cpus (in my case 2), test is likely to fail more. Moreover, test doesn't seem to adjust "spin" tasks' priority (I am not sure about this but it doesn't seem to do anything in this regard prior to running the test either). Test needs to either; - run in isolated environment where OS threads run on a dedicated core. - sleep some time (as done currently) and check if the spin process is migrated by the spin process itself.
