thanks! I have stared at hrtimer.c a few more hours and the good news is
that i found a narrow SMP race. The bad news is that i dont think it
could explain your bug symptoms: the worst-case effect of the race
should be an incorrect timeout on the current CPU - not a KTIME_MAX
thing like your logs show.
But maybe i didnt think through the effects of the bug well enough, and
your box has a HT CPU, with HT CPUs being pretty good at triggering
narrow SMP races - so maybe we are lucky? Fix attached below. Patch is
build and boot-tested.
Thanks. Verification may take some time.
Ingo

Michal
