Sorry for bringing this up after the loo-ong delay, but I've been
assured that the A53 involved is > r0p1. I've also confirmed this
problem on multiple internal platforms, and I'm pretty sure that it
occurs on any b.L out there today. Also, we found the same problematic
lock design used in the workqueue code in the kernel, causing the same
livelock. It's very very rare and requires a perfect set of
circumstances.
If it would help I can provide a unit test if you folks would be
generous enough to test it on the latest Juno or something b.L that's
also upstream.
Thanks,
Vikram
