I tihnk so, yes, altough looking at it again I wonder why you use
spin_aquire(.trylock=1) -- but that too shouldn't cause anything like
the explosion.

Not directly, no. Usually lockdep crashes indicate use after free like
things, where we try to lock a lock that's been scribbled on. But that
usually explodes a bit earlier.

You faulting in the middle of that breath-first-search does suggest some
data corruption, but I'm not quite sure what kind, I can't remember ever
having seem something like this before.

I've CC'ed Ming Lei who wrote the bfs search, maybe he's got an idea.
