I've seen similar soft lockup traces from the sys_unshare path when
running my fuzz tester. It seems that if you create enough network

(Running trinity with '-c unshare' you can see the slow down happen.
In some cases, it takes so long that the watchdog process kills it --
though the SIGKILL won't get delivered until the unshare() completes)
Any idea what this machine had been doing prior to this that may have
involved creating lots of namespaces ?
That was right after boot. ;)
This is my main rawhide running laptop.
A 'ip netns list' shows nothing.
