Looking back at your earlier email, I see the following:
[Wed Jan 4 10:19:12 2017] rcu_sched kthread starved for 60004 jiffies! g61967937 c61967936 f0x0 s3 ->state=0x1
That indicates that the task "rcu_sched" isn't being allowed to run. The "->state=0x1" indicates that this task is currently asleep and the "s3" indicates that it is looking to start a grace period, but has not progressed through this task. My guess is that your system get very busy, and that rcu_sched's normal scheduling priority is not sufficient for it to be allowed to run.
I therefore suggest that you try raising the rcu_sched task's priority.
You can find this task like this:
ps -ef | grep rcu_sched
On my laptop, I get this:
$ ps -ef | grep rcu_sched root 7 2 0 Apr11 ? 00:19:19 [rcu_sched] paulmck 18307 22926 0 06:11 pts/35 00:00:00 grep --color=auto rcu_sche
You can use the chrt command to set the priority. For example, given that on my laptop, rcu_sched is PID 7:
sudo chrt -f -p 1 7
You can double-check as follows:
$ chrt -p 7 pid 7's current scheduling policy: SCHED_FIFO pid 7's current scheduling priority: 1
Does that help?
Thanx, Paul
