I can't reproduce this bug using your configuration, so we need a 
different approach.

Could you patch the code fragment in, enable CONFIG_IPIPE_TRACE, then 
get a dump from /proc/ipipe/trace/frozen once the warning has triggered?
Maybe getting a bit more context by setting 
/proc/ipipe/trace/backtrace_points to 2048 would help too. TIA,
