Hi Dave,

When I usually see stuff like this, it is because another cpu is blocking
the IPI from smp_call_function_many from finishing, so this cpu waits
forever.

The problem usually becomes obvious with a dump of all cpus at the time
the lockup is detected.

Can you try adding 'softlockup_all_cpu_backtrace=1' to the kernel
commandline? That should dump all the cpus to see if anything stands out.

Though I don't normally see it traverse down to smp_call_function_single.

Anyway something to try.

Cheers,
Don
