Thanks in advance and sorry if I missed something along the way.KM

Yes, I see this behavior as well.  Never have found a solution - other
than increasing the threshold and pretending it doesn't happen.

We see it a fair bit, and this is on server running on bare metal, not VMs.

On bare metal is usually means some hardware has gone into an
uninteruptable IRQ and the CPU is waiting for it to go away. I saw
this with systems with Green disk drives a while ago. Something going
to talk to the drive would just sit for long times while the drive
spun up, the cache was validated etc. Other things would be drives on
USB disks too when some other USB item started needing input.. since
it is a hub environment they can spew for a while and the CPU would
report a soft-lockup.

Not hardly. We discovered green drives were nothing we wanted right after they came out. And I'm talking at work, with servers, all drives are either enterprise, as we bought them, or NAS-rated (e.g. WD Red).
