Hi Dann, Andrew asked me to take a look at the issue, and from my tracing, most of times, the cpu 'hangs' in the following line of code: __mod_timer(): .... out_unlock: spin_unlock_irqrestore(&base->lock, flags); If I added two trace points around the above line, most of times only the trace point before the line is dumped, and the one after the line can't dumped.
