After some debug/bisect/diff, found that patch "softirq: Let ksoftirqd

Ok, this thread died down without any resolution.
- Using v4.14.0 (including softirq patch) and the additional fix
proposed by Linus - no timeout issue.
Are you talking about the patch that made HI_SOFTIRQ and
TASKLET_SOFTIRQ special, and had this:
#define SOFTIRQ_NOW_MASK ((1 << HI_SOFTIRQ) | (1 << TASKLET_SOFTIRQ))
in it?
yes, exactly..
Link to the patch:

Thanks,

I think I'll just commit the damn thing. It's hacky, but it's simple,
and it never got applied because we had smarter suggestions. But the
smarter suggestions never ended up being applied either, so..
