Asterisk deadlocks since Kernel 4.1

Hello,

since Upgrading our Asterisk System from Kernel 3.18.17 to 4.1.13 it deadlocks every few hours (kill -9 is the only thing working). Booting with 3.18 again let it run smooth again.

An strace shows asterisk is looping like this:

fd 8 is:

lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Nov 17 15:27 /proc/6025/fd/8 -> anon_inode:[timerfd]

# cat /proc/6025/stack

Any ideas how to debug this?
