I have lost track of exactly what kernel you are using.  If you are
using a recent kernel (v3.18 or thereabouts), one thing to try is to
apply my stack of RCU CPU stall-warning changes that are on their way
in, please see v3.19-rc1..630181c4a915 in -rcu, which is at:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu.git

These handle the problems that Dave Jones and a few others located this
past December.  Could you please give them a spin?

                                                        Thanx, Paul
