I'm not sure if this is useful, but I've been seeing trinity lockups on arm64 as well. Sometimes they happen a few times a day, sometimes it takes a few days (I just saw my first one on -rc6, for example). However, I have a little bit more trace than you do and *every single time* the lockup has involved an execve to a virtual file system. E.g.: [child1:10700] [212] execve(name="/sys/fs/ext4/features/batched_discard", argv=0x91796a0, envp=0x911a9c0) (I've seen cases with /proc too) The child doing the execve then doesn't return an error from the syscall, and instead seems to disappear from the face of the planet, sometimes with the tasklist_lock held for write, which causes a lockup shortly afterwards. I'm running under KVM with two virtual CPUs. When the machine is wedged, one CPU is sitting in idle and the other seems to be kicking around do_wait and pid_vnr, but it's difficult to really see what's going on. I tried increasing the likelihood of execve syscalls in trinity, but it didn't seem to help with reproducing this issue.
