Are we sure that the soft lockup problem is related to the originally
reported problem? It seems like in v6.10 you hit a BUG in zswap
(corruption?), and in v6.9 you hit a soft lockup with a zswap lock
showing up in the splat. Not sure how they are relevant.

Is the soft lockup reproducible in v6.10 as well?

Since you have a narrow window (6.8.2 to 6.9) and a reproducer for the
soft lockup problem, can you try bisecting?

Thanks!
