Obviously the first couple lines of this concern me a bit. But I think
actually this might just be a catalyst for another bug. You could view
that function as basically just:

    while (something)
    	schedule();

And I guess in the process of calling the scheduler a lot, which toggles
interrupts a lot, something got wedged.

Curious, though, I did try to reproduce this, to no avail. My .config is
https://xn--4db.cc/rBvHWfDZ . What's yours?
