Indeed, quite easy to reproduce:

diff --git a/kernel/lockdep.c b/kernel/lockdep.c
index 81a4e4a..33901ef 100644
--- a/kernel/lockdep.c
+++ b/kernel/lockdep.c
@@ -2434,6 +2434,13 @@ static int __lock_acquire(struct lockdep_map *lock, unsigned int subclass,
* the hash, not class->key.
*/
id = class - lock_classes;
+ if (id >= MAX_LOCKDEP_KEYS) {
+ spinlock_t *slock = container_of(lock, spinlock_t, dep_map);
+
+ printk(KERN_EMERG "magic: %x\n", slock->magic);
+ printk(KERN_EMERG "class: %p\n", class);
+ printk(KERN_EMERG "id: %u\n", id);
+ }
if (DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(id >= MAX_LOCKDEP_KEYS))
return 0;



gives me:

ata3: PATA max PIO4 cmd 0x1e8 ctl 0x3ee irq 11

Looks like someone is stomping on the spinlock or just passing us
garbage.
