Hello, I hit this TASKS03 hung in D-state at synchronize_rcu_mult_test() but only once and cannot reproduce it. I am sharing it here just for tracking. Let me know any feedback. I'll continue to monitor/debug it. This is excerpt from dmesg with full logs at the link: http://box.joelfernandes.org:9080/job/rcutorture_stable/job/linux-5.15.y/49/artifact/tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/res/2023.08.03-11.12.30/TASKS03/console.log [ 592.563051] kvm-clock: cpu 2, msr 61a3081, secondary cpu clock [ 2791.512132] kvm-guest: stealtime: cpu 2, msr 1f51b140 [ 2791.689159] tasks-torture: rtc: 0000000079608068 ver: 1879 tfle: 0 rta: 1880 rtaf: 0 rtf: 1870 rtmbe: 0 rtmbkf: 0/1648 rtbe: 0 rtbke: 0 rtbre: 0 rtbf: 0 rtb: 0 nt: 208618 onoff: 187/188:188/188 60,424:14,382 29372:19593 (HZ=1000) barrier: 1556/1557:0 read-exits: 662 nocb-toggles: 0:0 [ 2791.753481] tasks-torture: Reader Pipe: 1294864132 635 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 [ 2791.765096] tasks-torture: Reader Batch: 1294864767 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 [ 2791.774413] tasks-torture: Free-Block Circulation: 1879 1878 1877 1876 1875 1874 1873 1872 1871 1870 0 [ 2791.789398] ???
