When run stress tests with RXE, the following Call Traces often occur
watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#2 stuck for 22s! [swapper/2:0]
...
Call Trace:
<IRQ>
create_object+0x3f/0x3b0
kmem_cache_alloc_node_trace+0x129/0x2d0
__kmalloc_reserve.isra.52+0x2e/0x80

irq_exit+0xc5/0xd0
smp_apic_timer_interrupt+0x68/0x120
apic_timer_interrupt+0xf/0x20
</IRQ>
...
The root cause is that tasklet is actually a softirq. In a tasklet
handler, another softirq handler is triggered. Usually these softirq
handlers run on the same cpu core. So this will cause "soft lockup Bug".

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
