As in, dropping all of isolcpus, rcu_nocbs, and nohz_full?  Or just dropping
isolcpus?

I don't see anything in the logs that suggests KVM is doing something funky.  My
guess is that the issue is related to isolcpus+rcu_nocbs+nohz_full, and that KVM
setups are one of the more common use cases for such configurations.  But that's
just a wild guess on my part.

The hang from [4] occurs because KVM can't complete a memslot update.  Given that
this shows up with GPU passthrough, odds are good the guest is trying to relocate
a GPU bar and the relocation hangs because the KVM-side update hangs.

There are some interesting/unique paths in KVM's memslot code, but this is a
simple hang on SRCU synchronization.

And in [5], the host hang that first pops is also on wait_for_completion(), in
code that is potentially trying to queue work on all CPUs (I've no idea if
cpu_needs_drain() can be true on the isolated CPUs).

	cpumask_clear(&has_work);
	for_each_online_cpu(cpu) {
		struct work_struct *work = &per_cpu(lru_add_drain_work, cpu);

		if (cpu_needs_drain(cpu)) {
			INIT_WORK(work, lru_add_drain_per_cpu);
			queue_work_on(cpu, mm_percpu_wq, work);
			__cpumask_set_cpu(cpu, &has_work);
		}
	}

	for_each_cpu(cpu, &has_work)
		flush_work(&per_cpu(lru_add_drain_work, cpu));
