The key point is the above line: RCU's grace-period kthread has not
had a chance to run for 10,502 jiffies.

And it is sleeping normally. The "RCU_GP_WAIT_FQS(5)" says that it was
doing a fixed-time wait, which is normally for three jiffies, but never
10,000 of them. Note that this kthread last ran on CPU 0.

This stack trace is expected: The RCU grace-period kthread is doing
a fixed-time wait. Note that this is a stack trace of this kthread,
not necessarily of the CPU it was last running on.

This is surprising. Is this a guest OS? If so, is the vCPU for CPU 0
stuck somehow? Did it get a SIGSTOP or some such?

Clearly, if CPU 0 isn't running, RCU's grace-period kthread, which was
last seen on CPU 0, might not be doing so well.

OK, but we eventually did get a stack trace:

So this stack trace leads me to ask if networking has been hogging
the CPU for the past 10,000 jiffies. Perhaps there is a corner case
that is not being addressed by the code that is supposed to move
long-term processing from softirq to ksoftirqd? Or perhaps more
likely, the networking code isn't exiting its softirq handler, thus
preventing the timer softirq handler from running, thus preventing
RCU's grace-period kthread's sleep from ever ending.

Is this consistent with what you are seeing?

I will bite... What are all the "executing program" outputs?

They are detected by the scheduling-clock interrupt handler, but
stalls can be generated both at process and at interrupt levels.

My best guess based on what I am seeing is that a softirq handler
is running for about ten seconds, which is too long.

Do you have means for tracking softirq-handler durations?
