Thanks for investigating and finding the cause of this problem. I have
already submitted an identical patch to change the hrtimer to softirq:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2024/6/26/969

However, your commit messages contain more useful information about the
problem at hand. So I'm happy to drop my patch in favor of yours.

Btw, the same problem has also been reported by the intel kernel test
robot. So we should add additional tags to mark this patch as the fix.


Reported-by: kernel test robot <oliver.sang@xxxxxxxxx>
Closes:
https://lore.kernel.org/oe-lkp/202406141323.413a90d2-lkp@xxxxxxxxx
Acked-by: Marcello Sylvester Bauer <sylv@xxxxxxx>

Thanks,
Marcello
