I'm seeing consistent CPU soft lockups in block_free_work on my bare metal system that aren't reached by VM instances. The reason is that the bare metal machine has a ton more memory available causing the block free work queue to grow much larger in size, and then it has so much work that it can take 30+ seconds before it goes through it all. This is all with a debug kernel. A non debug kernel will likely zoom through the outstanding work here at a much faster rate. Signed-off-by: Auke Kok <auke.kok@versity.com>
