Hi, I was encountering this issue in a frequent basis. I tried several methods listed all across the internet to solve the "soft lockup" specially while using rsync to copy data from one disk to another.
At some point, I ran memtest86 to check if there was a memory problem. I have 4 DIMM installed, of 16GB. The BIOS settings were mostly set to auto for most fields. Memtest86 failed 25% of the test, which is really bad. I noticed that Memtest86 reported metadata for each memory about the voltage setting to 1.350v. I noticed the Auto Setting in the bios had set those values to 1.200v instead. After updating that value, I ran the test suite again, none failed. Ran rsync over a large directory, and did not trigger the soft lockup. tldr; Make sure your RAM is correctly configured with the manufacturer recommended settings instead of Auto setting from the BIOS, this goes for both frequency and voltage. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1690085 Title: Ryzen 1800X freeze - rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/tasks Status in Linux: Expired Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hi, We aregetting various kernel crash on a pretty new config. We're using Ryzen 1800X CPU with X370 Gaming Pro Carbon MB (7A32V1) using latest BIOS available (1.52) We are running Ubuntu 17.04 (amd64), we've tried different kernel version, native one and releases from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ too. Tested kernel version: native 17.04 kernel 4.10.15 Issues are the same, we're getting random freeze on the machine.

Crash is happening randomly, but in general after some hours (3-4h). Now, we've installed kernel 4.11.0-041100-generic #201705041534 this morning and waiting for crash... For now, the machine is not "used", at least, it's not CPU stressed...
