Thanks for testing. The fact that it passes on next-20201105 but not
on 20201110 is strange. If you boot with KFENCE disabled (boot param
kfence.sample_interval=0), does it boot?

In your log [2] I see a number of "BUG: workqueue lockup ..." but that
doesn't make sense, at least I don't think the KFENCE work item is
causing this. It'd be interesting to bisect what changed between
20201105 and 20201110, but I have a suspicion that might take too
long. Short of that, let me see if there are any changes between the 2
that look like it might be causing this.

Thanks,
-- Marco
