Hello, Yixian Liu,
The following -next commit results in a lockdep splat:
591f762b2750 ("RDMA/hns: Remove the condition of light load for posting DWQE")
The repeat-by is as follows:
tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/bin/kvm.sh --allcpus --trust-make --duration 1 --configs TASKS01
The resulting splat is as shown below. This appears to have been either
fixed or obscured by a later commit, but it does affect bisectability.
Which I found out about the hard way. ;-)
Thanx, Paul
