With CONFIG_PARAVIRT=y (without the notrace->noinstr patch), I still get lockdep DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(!lockdep_hardirqs_enabled()), although it takes longer for syzbot to hit them. But I think that's expected because we can still get the recursion that I pointed out, and will need that patch.
I also get some "BUG: MAX_LOCKDEP_CHAINS too low!" on syzbot (KCSAN is not in the stacktrace). Although it may be unrelated: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/0000000000005613c705aaf88e04@google.com/ -- when are they expected?
Thanks, -- Marco
