https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git WIP.x86/ipi

in testcase: locktorture
with following parameters:

runtime: 300s
test: cpuhotplug

test-description: This torture test consists of creating a number of kernel threads which acquire the lock and hold it for specific amount of time, thus simulating different critical region behaviors.
test-url: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/locking/locktorture.txt


on test machine: qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -cpu SandyBridge -smp 2 -m 2G
I cannot reproduce that issue. What's the underlying hardware machine?

brand: Genuine Intel(R) CPU 000 @ 2.27GHz
model: Westmere-EX
memory: 256G
nr_node: 4
nr_cpu: 80
