Hello! The next-20241030 release gets the splat shown below when running scftorture in a preemptible kernel. This bisects to this commit: 560af5dc839e ("lockdep: Enable PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING with PROVE_LOCKING") Except that all this is doing is enabling lockdep to find the problem. The obvious way to fix this is to make the kmem_cache structure's cpu_slab field's ->lock be a raw spinlock, but this might not be what we want for real-time response. This can be reproduced deterministically as follows: tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/bin/kvm.sh --torture scf --allcpus --duration 2 --configs PREEMPT --kconfig CONFIG_NR_CPUS=64 --memory 7G --trust-make --kasan --bootargs "scftorture.nthreads=64 torture.disable_onoff_at_boot csdlock_debug=1" I doubt that the number of CPUs or amount of memory makes any difference, but that is what I used. Thoughts?
