This bit gives us the right clue: > [89945.640512] [] double_lock_balance+0x5a/0x90 > [89945.640568] [] push_rt_task+0xc6/0x290 if you look at that code you'll find the double_lock_balance() in question is the one in find_lock_lowest_rq() [yay for inlining]. Now find_lock_lowest_rq() has a bug.. it fails to use double_unlock_balance() in one exit path, if this results in a retry in push_rt_task() we'll call double_lock_balance() again, at which point we'll run into said lockdep confusion.
