When run stress tests with RXE, the following Call Traces often occur
"
watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#2 stuck for 22s! [swapper/2:0]
...
Call Trace:

"
The root cause is that tasklet is actually a softirq. In a tasklet handler,
another softirq handler is triggered. Usually these softirq handlers run
on the same cpu core. So this will cause "soft lockup Bug".
