I have seen this sort of thing, but only when actually dumping the trace
out, and I though those got fixed.  You are seeing this just accumulating
the trace?

These RCU CPU stall warnings usually occur when something grabs hold of
a CPU for too long, as in 21 seconds or so.  One way that they can happen
is excessive lock contention, another is having the kernel run through
too much data at one shot.

Adding Steven Rostedt on CC for his thoughts.
