hm. Can you work it around with:
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_granularity_ns
?
If yes then this is a wakeup race: some piece of code relies on the
upstream scheduler preempting the waker task immediately in 99% of the
cases.
and you might want to test -v5 too which i released earlier today. It
has no bugfix in this area though, so it will likely still trigger this
race - but it will also hopefully be even more pleasant to use than -v4
;-)
