The test was running on a CONFIG_PREEMPT kernel. So if the syzkaller
kthread is running at a higher priority than the rcu_preempt kthread, it
is possible for the rcu_preempt kthread to be starved of cpu time. The
rwsem optimistic spinning code will relinquish the cpu if there is a
higher priority thread running. Since rcu_preempt kthread did not seem
to be able to get the cpu, I suspect that it is probably caused by the
syzkaller thread having a higher priority.

Cheers,
Longman
