Thank you, i try to figure out the path which lead to system hang. i got the
output log :(the same output run18350079 times and going forever ... )

>runcc:18350079 CPUId:0, event: 0x00000004
the runcc is the count of times ldx_rx been run. dump code:

static irqreturn_t ldc_rx(int irq, void *dev_id)
{
....
atomic64_inc(&runcc);
....
printk(KERN_INFO"runcc:%lld CPUId:%d, event: 0x%08x\n",
atomic_read(&runcc), smp_processor_id(),event_mask);
dump_stack();

}

look the console output, system seems hang on a live lock:
tl0_irq5 triggered just after the irq been re-enable in the handler
of irq5: the ldc_rx.

i have no idea about the t10_irq5, just guess that: the special
configuration lead to t10_irq5 been triggered continuously, and
the trigger condition can not been cleared.
