Will this patch helps here,
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=d1d74d14e98a6be740a6f12456c7d9ad47be9c9c

I couldn't really understand why it got struck in  synchronize_rcu().
Please give some pointers to debug this further.

Below are the configs enable related to RCU.

CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU=y
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y
CONFIG_RCU_STALL_COMMON=y
CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT=32
CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAF=16
CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ=y
CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUT=21
CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_VERBOSE=y

Kernel version is 3.10.28
Architecture is ARM

Thanks,
Arun
