The following warning may appear while setting a CPU down: NOHZ tick-stop error: Non-RCU local softirq work is pending, handler #20!!! The IRQ_POLL_SOFTIRQ vector can be raised during the hotplug cpu_down() path after ksoftirqd is parked and before the CPU actually dies. However this is handled afterward at the CPUHP_IRQ_POLL_DEAD stage where the queue gets migrated. Hence this warning can be considered spurious and the vector can join the "hotplug-safe" list.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
