Resending this to all the original CCs per suggestion of Dmitry.
I'm not a member of linux-crypto, no idea if it will bounce; in any 
case, the OOPS I saw does not appear to be crypto related.

This looks somewhat similar to an OOPS + rcu stall I reported earlier in 
reply to Greg KH's announcement of 5.5.7:

     rcu: INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU

I don't have a reproducer for it, either.  It showed up in 5.5.7 (but 
might be from earlier as it reproduces so infrequently).
