Ipq806x NSS build (Netgear R7800 / TP-Link C2600 / Linksys EA8500)

been running @ACwifidude 's master git tree pulled Sat Aug 27, 2022; built using diffconfig-ath10k config (cp diffconfig-ath10k .config; make defconfig)

... had a several reboots under light load while I was periodically logging memory, CPU temp and top to another host ...

NO crash log - watchdog I guess ...

memory and temp look OK but the heaviest hitting task @50 % sys (i.e. sys task fully loading 1 core):

PID  PPID USER     STAT   VSZ %VSZ %CPU COMMAND
13258     2 root     RW       0   0%  50% [kworker/1:2+eve]

... and by the timestamps saved in syslog, it looks like this blocked for between 20 - 30 seconds ... I'm guessing the watchdog timeout is 30sec. CPU temp had risen by 4 - 5 degrees C too.

I'm going to drill down into this some more, patch the tree I have to dump which service/ISR task was being executed if I can ...

All hints accepted here - I haven't had to dig this deep into the kernel in a while and not one this new.
