At some point, insufficient bandwidth triggers an overflow detection, causing CPU hot-removal to fail and kexec to hang [2]. This can be reproduced by: chrt -d -T 1000000 -P 1000000 0 yes > /dev/null & kexec -e Meeting deadline bandwidth requirements is unnecessary during the kexec process. Skip DL bandwidth validation to allow kexec to proceed smoothly.
