No, strange that, I can't say I've ever seen a bogus stracktrace in lockdep reports like this. So this is through: check_prev_add()->save_trace(). And that doesn't reuse entries, at worst it can truncate a trace when we run out of entries, but the above looks complete since it terminates in lock_acquire(), which is the right place to be. But its worse than that, the above trace should link i8259A_lock to port_lock_key, and I can't see where we would have taken i8259A_lock either. So not only does it not terminate at taking the right lock, it doesn't even take the previous lock. > > -> #1 (i8259A_lock){-.....}: > > [ 7.492350] [<810750e5>] lock_acquire+0x85/0x190 > > [ 7.492350] [<81baed9d>] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x4d/0x60 > > [ 7.492350] [<81005af1>] unmask_8259A_irq+0x11/0x60 > > [ 7.492350] [<81005b4b>] enable_8259A_irq+0xb/0x10 > > [ 7.492350] [<8107fffb>] irq_enable+0x2b/0x40 > > [ 7.492350] [<8108005d>] irq_startup+0x4d/0x60 > > [ 7.492350] [<8107f2bc>] __setup_irq+0x39c/0x460 > > [ 7.492350] [<8107f433>] setup_irq+0x33/0x80 > > [ 7.492350] [<8212db15>] setup_default_timer_irq+0xf/0x11 > > [ 7.492350] [<8212db2d>] hpet_time_init+0x16/0x18 > > [ 7.492350] [<8212daff>] x86_late_time_init+0x9/0x10 > > [ 7.492350] [<8212ba3d>] start_kernel+0x331/0x3aa > > [ 7.492350] [<8212b380>] i386_start_kernel+0x12e/0x131 > > [ 7.492350] And this one looks legit, weird that.
