The apt-get source linux-image- on the test system didn't pull down the sources but the kernel being used is close to the one used for vivid (3.19.0-25.26) so I pulled down the git source tree for it with git clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-vivid.git and the resulting source shows that the patch for the commit mentioned is not applied. As I basically understand it, the problem that was fixed is that while torture_rwlock_read_lock_irq() acquires a read lock on the lock called: torture_rwlock anything that calls the counterpart torture_rwlock_read_unlock_irq() to relinquish the read lock instead ends doing a write_unlock_irqrestore() on the torture_rwlock() in essence leaving the read lock. So when the locktorture module calls something like torture_rwlock_write_lock() as we see in the bug description, it will block indefinitely as there is at least one lock reader. I'll go ahead and mirror this since I pretty confident this is the issue (also should affect Vivid). We'll have to figure out how to get the sources for the LTS kernel to build a test kernel as well.
