Well, but the delays are occuring all the time (and it's bisectable) and NMIs
are generally not deterministic.
I'd really suggest the creation of a revert + finegrained series on top of
core/rcu which would IMHO help us narrow this down a lot more directly than
jumping between the 'need_resched bug', 'nmi bug' and 'barrier bug' hypoteses.
( Btw., the bug still has the feeling of a need_resched/scheduling/timing
artifact to me, not barriers or NMI. )
Thanks,
Ingo
