You will need to generate some kind of call stack/graph info to start making
sense of the mess your running kernel gets itself into in the scenario you
described.

I imagine that looking at `perf` (`perf top` in particular; it should suffice
to paste a few instances of its topmost lines when the involved kernel threads
are spinning) would yield some useful data to kick off a potentially
productive debate about what could actually be going on.

On Fedora, I think `sudo dnf install perf` should set up everything you need
to get you going; then, look at `sudo perf top -F 999` for a while, and let
the list know what you see. (You can use your terminal emulator's flow control
features, available via Ctrl+S to enable and Ctrl+Q to disable, to "freeze"
the output to make it easier to copy it into a clipboard buffer.)
