OK this seems likely to be intermittant (and unrelated to what's in mm-unstable-fixes honestly) and does make me wonder if the fix referenced in [0] really has sorted things out? Or whether it has perhaps help mitigate the issue but not sufficiently in conjunction with debug things that slow things down. Because we keep getting these reports, that mysteriously don't occur if we re-run (or hit other code paths), they seem to hit somewhat arbitrary parts of mm, and because CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_MAPLE_TREE is set we spend a _long_ time in mm validating trees (this config option is REALLY REALLY heavy-handed). I note we also set CONFIG_KCOV and CONFIG_KCOV_INSTRUMENT_ALL which isn't going to make anything quicker if the USB gets laggy. I'm not sure if there's a human who can help tweak the config for these hardware-centric tests at Google? At least tweaking the RCU stall time anyway? In any case this continues not to look likely to be an actual mm issue as far as I can see. In [0] we were stalled in a validate call which would align with the idea that perhaps we were just dealing with a very very big tree and getting slow down that way.
