The following patch might not be the root-cause of livelock, but should reduce the [kworker/*] in your case. From d1372da4d3c6f8051b5b1cf7b5e8b45a8094b388 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 Can you give a try?
I will first need to move this test to a machine (like my Laptop) that I can more aggressively reboot without disturbing the developers on the shared hardware. Will do that asap.
I don't know which kernel you are using in case you don't have this patched yet.
2.6.39. 5 out of 6 hunks in your patch apply to this version, 1 is rejected - so I guess I should upgrade to a more recent kernel, first. Would 2.6.39.1 be sufficient or would some non-release kernel (from which git repository?) be required?
