Booting 3.0.4 + rt12 on a quadcore workstation (running fc14) gave me this:

swapper/0 is trying to acquire lock:

__cache_free.clone.27+0x45/0xc4

but task is already holding lock:
 (&parent->list_lock){+.+...}, at: [<c050662c>] do_tune_cpucache+0xf0/0x2b0

other info that might help us debug this:
 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0
       ----
  lock(&parent->list_lock);
  lock(&parent->list_lock);

That's something which has to do with debugging options (debugobjects
IIRC). There was some attempt to fix that, but that might have gone
lost in my vacation and the following futile attempt to take care of
the resulting backlog. Peter ???

Thanks,

I started working and a little while later the machine froze (jack + heavy
prioritized udp traffic in eth1 - with the r8169 driver). It recognized
alt-sysrq boot so it was not completely dead. Nothing left on the logs to see.

Full config attached.
