Thanks for the information, but...

No, the rule of CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU is allowing only implicit preemption
in RCU read-side critical sections. So calling mutex after taking RCU
read_lock() is illegal.

See the comments before rcu_read_lock():

 * In preemptible RCU implementations (PREEMPT_RCU) in CONFIG_PREEMPTION
 * kernel builds, RCU read-side critical sections may be preempted,
 * but explicit blocking is illegal.

Right, this is the key point. There is a static variable tracking the
owner task of graph-lock:

static struct task_struct *__owner;

are you able to find some information from the coredump?

If you have a reliable reproduce then could you try the following debug
code?

diff --git a/kernel/locking/lockdep.c b/kernel/locking/lockdep.c
index e85b5ad3e206..a313fcc78e8e 100644
--- a/kernel/locking/lockdep.c
+++ b/kernel/locking/lockdep.c

        if (WARN_ON_ONCE(__this_cpu_dec_return(lockdep_recursion)))

+
+       BUG_ON(__owner == current);
 }

 void lockdep_set_selftest_task(struct task_struct *task)

This may tell you which code path in lockdep forgot to unlock the graph
lock.

That matches my expectation: that "return 0" should never hit. So the
problem may be somewhere any else.
