No problem, as it looks like next-20201105 is a reasonable approximation.

The report claims that one of the rcu_node ->lock fields is held
with interrupts enabled, which would indeed be bad.  Except that all
of the stack traces that it shows have these locks held within the
scheduling-clock interrupt handler.  Now with the "rcu: Don't invoke
try_invoke_on_locked_down_task() with irqs disabled" but without the
"sched/core: Allow try_invoke_on_locked_down_task() with irqs disabled"
commit, I understand why.  With both, I don't see how this happens.

At this point, I am reduced to adding lockdep_assert_irqs_disabled()
calls at various points in that code, as shown in the patch below.

At this point, I would guess that your first priority would be the
initial bug rather than this following issue, but you never know, this
might well help diagnose the initial bug.

							Thanx, Paul

commit ccedf00693ef60f7c06d23490fc41bb60dd43dc3
Author: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Thu Nov 19 10:13:06 2020 -0800

    rcu: Add lockdep_assert_irqs_disabled() to rcu_sched_clock_irq() and callees
    
    This commit adds a number of lockdep_assert_irqs_disabled() calls
    to rcu_sched_clock_irq() and a number of the functions that it calls.
    The point of this is to help track down a situation where lockdep appears
    to be insisting that interrupts are enabled within these functions, which
    should only ever be invoked from the scheduling-clock interrupt handler.
