BUG: soft lockup - CPU#1 stuck for 11s! [nameofwhatwasblocked]
 
...with varying CPU number, length, and process name.
 
Will be followed by more process details, such as the PID, the modules loaded in, and the execution state of the process (registers and call trace).
 
 
Despite the call trace, this message is itself an '''informational ''warning''''', not an error or crash.
 
 
That said, it's roughly saying that the scheduler didn't get it to budge towards doing ''anything at all'' for a couple billion cycles,
and that is ''probably'' something you want to understand the cause of.  And avoid in the future if you can.
 
 
One possible cause is (extremely overcommitted memory leading to) [[swapping]] to the point of [[trashing]], basically meaning the CPU has to wait for disk before a scheduled process can properly continue.
 
 
It looks like certain buggy drivers (e.g. ndiswrapper stuff) can be reported as the process blocked waiting for that driver.
 
Specific bits of hardware issues could do the same, broken or interacting in a non-conforming way (noapic sometimes helps, bios update can help)
