RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Crystal Wood 2019-01-30 19:51:13 UTC 
There is an extra "return" added by merge commit 7be8efa0a0bacd464 in watchdog_overflow_callback() that prevents an NMI watchdog-detected lockup from ever being reported.

[Tiefu Li 14 May 2019]
Following the principal "does anything break" testing, I can't see any different behaviour between the problematic version and the fixed version.
Please refer the below steps:
1. Ensure that testing environment contains the bug:
[root@hp-dl380eg8-01 ~]# uname -r
3.10.0-976.rt56.930.el7.x86_64
2. Ensure that the feature is on:
[root@hp-dl380eg8-01 ~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
1-> Means this is on.
3. Observe the interrupts:
[root@hp-dl380eg8-01 ~]# grep NMI /proc/interrupts
 NMI:          9          6          6          6          6          7          7          7          9          7          7          7        174          6          6          6          6          6          6          7          8          6          6          6   Non-maskable interrupts

Secondly,I installed the fix on my server again then test again
Below are my step by step procedure:
1. Installation:
[root@hp-dl380eg8-01 ~]# wget http://download.eng.pek2.redhat.com/brewroot/packages/kernel-rt/3.10.0/1010.rt56.968.el7/x86_64/kernel-rt-3.10.0-1010.rt56.968.el7.x86_64.rpm
[root@hp-dl380eg8-01 ~]# rpm -ihv kernel-rt-3.10.0-1010.rt56.968.el7.x86_64.rpm
[root@hp-dl380eg8-01 ~]#  grubby --default-kernel
/boot/vmlinuz-3.10.0-1010.rt56.968.el7.x86_64
[root@hp-dl380eg8-01 ~]# rhts-reboot
Connection to hp-dl380eg8-01.rhts.eng.pek2.redhat.com closed by remote host.

2. After reboot the server:
[root@hp-dl380eg8-01 ~]# uname -r
3.10.0-1010.rt56.968.el7.x86_64
[root@hp-dl380eg8-01 ~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
1
[root@hp-dl380eg8-01 ~]# grep NMI /proc/interrupts
 NMI:         10          7          7          7          7          8          8          8         10          8          8          8        209          7          7          7          7          7          7          8          9          7          7          7   Non-maskable interrupts
