When you say "also", which other kernel(s) show the problem? Is this a
recent regression? Which platform are you running on?

It would be interesting to know what the other CPUs are doing, in particular
the target of the cross-call. Either it crashed spectacularly and didn't
unlock the csd lock, or the IPI somehow wasn't delivered.

Do you see any other splats if you enable lock debugging?

Cheers,

Will
