It really sounds as if the tiny-rcu kthread somehow just stops
handling callbacks. The ones that keep increasing do seem to be all
rcu-free'd (but I didn't really check).

The thing is shown as running:

root         6  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        R    22:14   0:00  \_
[rcu_kthread]

but nothing seems to happen and the CPU time hasn't increased at all.

I dunno. Makes no  sense to me, but yeah, I'm definitely blaming
tiny-rcu. Paul, any ideas?
