We are also seeing this frequently on our fleet since moving from 4.7.x to 4.8. This is from a machine running vanilla 4.8.6 just a few moments ago:

INFO: rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/tasks:

The machine will lag terribly during these occurrences .. some will eventually recover, some will spiral down and require a reboot.
