Hi John,
The free_percpu() function hasn't changed in a little under 2 years. So,
either lockdep has gotten smarter or something else has changed. There
was a workqueue change recently merged: 6d25be5782e4 ("sched/core,
workqueues: Distangle worker accounting from rq lock"). Would you mind
reverting this and then seeing if you still encounter deadlock?
Thanks,
Dennis
