Paul-
Can you advise me? In the die() function might_sleep() is called while
holding the die_lock (see call flow below).
If voluntary preemption is set this can cause a deadlock when multiple
Oops occur. I am seeing this problem when issuing a soft-reset as all
cups call die() at roughly the same time.

My question is basically should die() ever call might_sleep()? If so why?
I currently working around the problem by calling clear_need_resched()
at the top of die().
