Ok, a bit more analysis...

We did get a vmcore from this. Here is the "cache_cleaner" delayed work:

crash> p cache_cleaner
cache_cleaner = $12 = {
  work = {
    data = {
      counter = 0xfffffffe1
    }, 
    entry = {
      next = 0xffffffffa03623c8 <cache_cleaner+8>, 
      prev = 0xffffffffa03623c8 <cache_cleaner+8>
    }, 
    func = 0xffffffffa03333c0 <cache_cleaner_func>
  }, 
  timer = {
    entry = {
      next = 0x0, 
      pprev = 0xffff88085fd0eaf8
    }, 
    expires = 0x100021e99, 
    function = 0xffffffff810b66a0 <delayed_work_timer_fn>, 
    data = 0xffffffffa03623c0, 
    flags = 0x200014, 
    slack = 0xffffffff, 
    start_pid = 0x0, 
    start_site = 0x0, 
    start_comm = "\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000"
  }, 
  wq = 0xffff88085f48fc00, 
  cpu = 0x14
}

So the PENDING bit is set (lowest bit in data.counter), and timer->entry.pprev
pprev pointer is not NULL (so timer_pending is true). I also see that
there are several nfsd threads running the shrinker at the same time.

There is one potential problem that I see, but I'd appreciate someone
sanity checking me on this. Here is mod_delayed_work_on:

------------------[snip]------------------------
bool mod_delayed_work_on(int cpu, struct workqueue_struct *wq,
                         struct delayed_work *dwork, unsigned long delay)
{
        unsigned long flags;
        int ret;

        do {
                ret = try_to_grab_pending(&dwork->work, true, &flags);
        } while (unlikely(ret == -EAGAIN));

        if (likely(ret >= 0)) {
                __queue_delayed_work(cpu, wq, dwork, delay);
                local_irq_restore(flags);
        }

        /* -ENOENT from try_to_grab_pending() becomes %true */
        return ret;
}
------------------[snip]------------------------

...and here is the beginning of try_to_grab_pending:

------------------[snip]------------------------
        /* try to steal the timer if it exists */
        if (is_dwork) {
                struct delayed_work *dwork = to_delayed_work(work);

                /*
                 * dwork->timer is irqsafe.  If del_timer() fails, it's
                 * guaranteed that the timer is not queued anywhere and not
                 * running on the local CPU.
                 */
                if (likely(del_timer(&dwork->timer)))
                        return 1;
        }

        /* try to claim PENDING the normal way */
        if (!test_and_set_bit(WORK_STRUCT_PENDING_BIT, work_data_bits(work)))
                return 0;
------------------[snip]------------------------


...so if del_timer returns true, we'll return 1 from
try_to_grab_pending without actually setting the
WORK_STRUCT_PENDING_BIT, and then will end up calling
__queue_delayed_work.

That seems wrong to me -- shouldn't we be ensuring that that bit is set
when returning 1 from try_to_grab_pending to guard against concurrent
queue_delayed_work_on calls?
