I believe the WARN_ON(1) in rcu_tasks_verify_self_tests() got triggered 
30s after the first rcu_tasks_verify_work_fn() is called via 
late_initcall. The timestamp here transition from the WARNING line to 
the next one is more than 18s. I think the VM may have preempted heavily 
by the host causing significant delay or the cpu and memory resource 
available is being overpowered by the debugging code enabled in a kernel 
that include this RCU test. Also the WARNING timestamp of 64.538955 is 
way more than the 30s timeout of the verification test. So I think the 
warning is expected.

Cheers,
Longman
