I tried those patches on my old -next tree, v5.11-rc1 and today's -next tree. I booted your config with: | exec qemu-system-x86_64 \ | -m 4G \ | -machine q35,accel=kvm \ | -cpu host \ | -smp 8 \ | -kernel "$KERNEL" \ | -drive file=Deb_sid_amd64-playground_xfs.img,if=virtio,id=diskroot,media=disk,format=raw,discard=on,snapshot=on \ | -nographic \ | -append "earlyprintk=ttyS0,115200 console=ttyS0,115200n8 root=/dev/vda1 sysrq_always_enabled ftrace_dump_on_oops nokaslr ignore_loglevel" | on an AMD and Intel (due to only CONFIG_CPU_SUP_INTEL=y). Nothing. Is there anything special in your commandline / disk-setup? After a complete disk-upgrade I have almost no block-softirqs: |~# grep BLOCK /proc/softirqs | BLOCK: 0 0 0 0 4 0 8 0 Sebastian
