The context persistence code does things like send super high priority heartbeat pulses to ensure any leaked context can still be pre-empted and thus isn't a total denial of service but only a minor denial of service. Unfortunately, it wasn't bothering to restart the heartbeat worker with a fresh timeout. Thus, if a persistent context happened to be closed just before the heartbeat was going to go ping anyway then the forced pulse would get a negligble execution time. And as the forced pulse is super high priority, the worker thread's next step is a reset. Which means a potentially innocent system randomly goes boom when attempting to close a context. So, force a re-schedule of the worker thread with the appropriate timeout.

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.
