Please allow me to ask few questions:
1. is it 100% sure that linux-next don't show this issue on same hardware?
2. is it 100% sure that when removed commit b1420f1, both WARN in
rcu_do_batch() and __call_rcu() disappeared?

The reason I asked the questions is that this issue looks really similar
to the one we faced previously:
	The interrupt come in after cpu has been offline.

I suppose this is caused by apic issue and no matter with the rcu
before, so I really want to figure out whether it is very related with
commit b1420f1?

Regards,
Michael Wang
