Hi Paul We hit the below splat a couple of days ago in our testing. Sadly I can't reproduce it. And it was on android-mainline branch..
It's the deadlock message that bothers me. I can't see how we could have ended there. We detect a stall and when trying to dump the stack LOCKDEP spits the warning. Maybe should take this report with a pinch of salt since it wasn't on mainline. I just thought it might be something worth sharing in case you can actually spot something obvious that I can't see. If I got more info or a reproducer I will share them. The failure was triggered twice on that day running 2 different tests.
