Yow!!! Now this one might well be able to hit the 950 millisecond limit. There are no fewer than 1,314,958 RCU callbacks queued up at the end of the test. And RCU has indeed noticed this and cranked up the number of callbacks to be handled by each invocation of rcu_do_batch() to 2,147,483,647. And only 15 seconds earlier, there were zero callbacks queued and the rcu_do_batch() limit was at the default of 10 callbacks per invocation.
