Yep, this is a page fault. I added tracing of the
  mm_fault_error
  handle_mm_fault
  handle_pte_fault
  do_page_fault
functions


The result is

0....0 62811.755379: bprint:    timerfd_read: timerfd_read after unlock, res=0

The number of minor faults of the thread jumped to 1433400 and
the process recovered after 2.77 seconds.
