Thanks for looking into this. This is a boot test on a randconfig
kernel, and yes, it happend to select CONFIG_RCU_SCALE_TEST=y together
with CONFIG_TEST_MAPLE_TREE=y, leading to the situation in this case.
I've tested the patch on same config, it does clear up the "task
blocked" log, though it still waits a long time at this step. The test
result is as follows:
[ 18.397784][ T1] calling maple_tree_seed+0x0/0x15d0 @ 1
[ 18.398646][ T1]
[ 18.398646][ T1] TEST STARTING
[ 18.398646][ T1]
[ 1266.450656][ T1] maple_tree: 12610686 of 12610686 tests passed
[ 1266.451749][ T1] initcall maple_tree_seed+0x0/0x15d0 returned 0 after 1248053116 usecs
...
