So I wanted to revive this old thread, as Frank Woo mentioned his team
has seen a similar issue as well.

Liujian: I'm curious if you've made any further progress with your
adapted patch ontop of PeterZ's softirq_needs_break patch series?

Hi John,
Only the commit ("softirq, timer: Use softirq_needs_break()") is
added to the patchset of Peter, and no other modification is made.
Might it be worth re-submitting the whole series for consideration upstream?

I agree very much and expect, because we often encounter similar
problems when doing fuzzy tests (especially when the test machine is poor).

Ok. Will you submit the series + your patch to the list for review and
consideration then?

The patch[1] has been sent out. Please help review it. Thank you very much.

Please include Frank and Rhine on CC so they can validate and provide
Tested-by: tags if it works for them as well.

thanks
