Subject: [BUG] RCU CPU stall warning (heads up)

Hello!

Just FYI for the moment.

I hit the following three times out of 15 ten-hour TREE03 rcutorture
runs on next-20231121, which suggests an MTBF of about 50 hours.  This is
new over the past week or so.

The symptom is that the RCU grace-period kthread is marked as running
("R"), but remains stuck in schedule() for the remainder of the run.

My next steps will be to retry on today's -next, and if that reproduces
the bug, attempt to bisect.

But I figured that I should send this out on the off-chance that it is
a known problem.

						Thanx, Paul
