Is it harder to reproduce with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y and CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU=n?
If it is a -lot- harder to reproduce, it might be worth bisecting among the RCU read-side critical sections. If making a few of them be non-preemptible greatly reduces the probability of the bug occuring, that might provide a clue about root cause.
On the other hand, if it is just a little harder to reproduce, this RCU read-side bisection would likely be an exercise in futility.
Thanx, Paul
