BUG: workqueue lockup (after powerdown)

BUG: workqueue lockup (after powerdown)

[Meelis Roos]

Today I tested 4.12 release on my RP3440 (HP parisc). It worked fine, 
then on shutdown I got this strange message from kernel after shutdown:

reboot: Power down
System shut down completed.
Please power this system off now.
BUG: workqueue lockup - pool cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 stuck for 40s!

and this continues with longer and longer times.

Is it something hppa specific or general?

No idea.
Maybe other platforms (like x86_64) physically drop power on machine 
so you won't see it. On parisc we can't power off on many machines,
so instead we will keep running in an endless for-next loop.

Btw, I'm seeing a similar BUG:
