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.

The issue doesn't happen when CFS throttling (quota) is disabled or on periodic (nohz=off) kernel.

Probes fails because of exhausted quota.
The quota is exhausted due to delayed quota refill.
The refill is delayed because hrtimers are delayed. 
hrtimers are delayed because of missed interrupts.
Interrupts at missed because of nohz mode.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install SNO
2. install https://gitlab.cee.redhat.com/cshulyup/vdu-workload-emulator/-/tree/base?ref_type=heads by running script ./add_test-deployments.sh
3. monitor pods restarts with command `oc get pods -n test | grep ago` for 10 (ten) days.

Actual results:
- some pods are restarted after several days

Expected results:
- no single pod restart during 10 days (240 hours)

The fix:
- patch "softirq: Wake ktimers thread also in softirq",
already merged to other branches:

Hello Guys,

Looks the fix only lands kernel-rt, any chance to make it to rhel8.9(kernel)?

Because we have Bug 2128603 which can be fixed by this change.
