After scratching head skin 30 minutes I failed to work out how the timer
was armed.

So this is the following code in rb_next():

node = node->rb_right;

while (node->rb_left)

> x2 : ff7000007f8cf8e8 x1 : 0000000000000080 x0 : 0000000000000080

which obviously crashes. Now the question is how does the original node
end up with node::rb_right == 0x80?

I doubt that this is a hrtimer or rbtree problem. It smells like random
data corruption caused by whatever. It might not even be an ARM64
specific issue though the C repro does not trigger on x86...

Handing it over to Catalin and Will.

Thanks,

Thanks! I'll trim it now...
I suspect this is a duplicate of:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240604110119.GA20284@willie-the-truck/

and there's a fix queued in the -mm tree.
