If the kernel is built with the following configurations and booting
CONFIG_VMD=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK=y
CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y
CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING=y
The following log appears,

If CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT is not set, the spinlock_t is based on
raw_spinlock, there is no any question in the above call trace. But if
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT is set, the spinlock_t is based on rt_mutex, a task
will be scheduled when waiting for rt_mutex. For example, there are two
threads are trying to hold a rt_mutex lock, if A hold the lock firstly,
and B will be scheduled in rtlock_slowlock_locked() waiting for A to
release the lock. The raw_spinlock is a real spinning lock, which is
not allowed the task of the raw_spinlock owner is scheduled in its
critical region. In other words, we should not try to acquire rt_mutex
lock in the critical region of the raw_spinlock when CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT
is set.
CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING and CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING options are
used to detect the invalid lock nesting (the raw_spinlock vs. spinlock
nesting checks). Here is the call path:
pci_msi_update_mask ---> hold raw_spinlock dev->msi_lock
pci_write_config_dword
pci_bus_write_config_dword
vmd_pci_write ---> hold spinlock_t vmd->cfg_lock
The above call path is the invalid lock nesting becuase the vmd driver
tries to acquire the vmd->cfg_lock spinlock within the raw_spinlock
region (dev->msi_lock). That's why the message "BUG: Invalid wait contex"
is shown.
