the softirq/BH handling has been rewritten in the v5.0-RT cycle,
v5.0.19-rt11 to be exact. So if that the cause for it (which I hope)
then you should be able to trigger the problem before that release and
not later.

I testes again with 5.0.19-rt10 and 5.0.19-rt11Â and I am pretty sure
the bug wasfixed by the changes in rt11. I was able to reproduce it with
rt10 within secondsand unable to reproduce it at all in several minutes on
rt11. Will 4.19 rt patches receive anymore updates? Is it possible to backport
the changes to softirq/BH habdling from 5.0.16-rt11 to 4.19?
