Do you have the "Allow rescheduling during object scanning" patch? Apart
from that, you may need another for not holding the tasklist_lock when
scanning the task stacks - it is at the top of my kmemleak branch,
together with a patch or informing kmemleak about thread stack
allocations
(http://www.linux-arm.org/git?p=linux-2.6.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/kmemleak).

With these patches, I don't get any soft lockups on my system.
