My guess would be that you have CONFIG_RCU_EXP_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUT set to
some small non-zero number, for example, you might have set up a recent
Android .config or some such.  The default of zero would give you about
21 seconds rather than the three jiffies that you are seeing.

Could you please check your .config?
