I was looking at the logdump, but I don't see anything spinning. CPU 1
seems to be constantly running your v67 program (alternating with
posix_cpu_timer), and CPU: 0 is still switching with the swapper, along
with other tasks, so that this means nothing is just spinning and hogging
the CPU (on CPU 0, but I assume the v67 tasks is suppose to keep running).
But, this could mean that something is blocked on a lock, or missed a
wakeup somewhere and we block X from responding. Although X is shown up,
but some signal to do an event my be prevented.
I wonder if the fact that softirqs are running with preemption enabled, is
the problem here.
Could you try the patch that Ingo sent here:
