OK, thanks for confirming this. I've only seen this during bonnie++ tests so far, and it's always reproducible there, but I've not seen it during "normal use". It's still scary though. Just checked, opensuse and fedora have CONFIG_LOCKDEP_SUPPORT=y but no related DEBUG options set, so it probably won't ever show up for the general public.
