Hello, Frederic!
I don't see the following commit in mainline, but figured I should
check with you guys to see if the problem got solved in some other way.
Unless I hear otherwise, I will continue to carry this patch in -rcu
and will send it along for the v5.13 merge window.
Thanx, Paul

timer: Report ignored local enqueue in nohz mode
Enqueuing a local timer after the tick has been stopped will result in
the timer being ignored until the next random interrupt.
Perform sanity checks to report these situations.
