Or a bug in the way lockdep handles rcu mappings.

Yeah, with ftrace.

If you haven't already configured ftrace into your kernel, can you
please do so. Specifically:

CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER=y
CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER=y
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE=y

Then, before triggering this, run the following as root:

# mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
# echo net_rx_action > set_graph_function
# echo function_graph > current_tracer

In the kernel, where you added the above dump, before any of the printks
happen, add this too:

trace_printk("BUG\n");
tracing_off();

This will stop the trace at the point of the error. The trace_printk()
is a nice way to see the trace too.

Then after you trigger the bug, do the following:

cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace

and reply with that.

To turn tracing on again (because the tracing_off() disabled it), you
can do:

echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_on

Careful not to do "echo 1> ..." ;-)
