Maybe because the problem is really difficult to reproduce (rare
combination of the kernel build option and workload). I even thought
that the problem was fixed because it did not reproduce itself for a
week.

But yesterday when it happened again with the kworker process, I
stopped doubting that it was fixed.

Now I am concerned with the question of how to be as useful as
possible when reproducing bug again?
