Hmmm... It was actually intended to be in addition.

No, they are not at all expected, but might be a different symptom
of the original problem. Please see below.

As noted earlier, it is a surprise. Could you please send me the
console output?

I have different line numbering, but the only warning that I see in this
function is the one complaining that RCU has been ignoring a request to
start a grace period for too long. This usually happens because the RCU
grace-period kthread (named "rcu_preempt" in your case, but can also be
named "rcu_sched") is being prevented from running, but can be caused
by other things as well.

Two program counters and four link registers? Awesome! ;-)

The RCU_SOFTIRQ handler is causing this checking to occur, for whatever
that is worth.

The last thing that RCU's grace-period kthread did was to go to sleep
waiting for a grace-period request (RCU_GP_WAIT_GPS).

And here we see that RCU's grace-period kthread has in fact been starved.
This kthread is now in RCU_GP_CLEANUP, perhaps because of the wakeup that is
sent in rcu_check_gp_kthread_starvation().
My current guess is that this is a consequence of the earlier failures,
but who knows?
