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:

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