which does not make sense. If next_expiry is 0x13fff8acf and jiffies
advanced to 0x13fff9600 when the warning triggered, then either it
missed to expire the timer at 0x13fff8acf or it failed to recalculate
next_expiry.

Could you enable all [hr]timer tracepoints on the kernel command line,
set panic on warn and ftrace_dump_on_oops which should spill out the
tracebuffer on the console and provide the output. That should at least
give us an hint what's going on.

Thanks,
