Dinakar,

I believe this patch will give you the behavior you expect.

Not really, the reason, quoting from my previous mail

So IMO the above check is not right. However removing this check
is not the end of story. This time it gets to task_blocks_on_lock
and tries to grab the task->pi_lock of the owvner which is itself
and results in a system hang. (Assuming CONFIG_DEBUG_DEADLOCKS
is not set). So it looks like we need to add some check to
prevent this below in case lock_owner happens to be current.

_raw_spin_lock(&lock_owner(lock)->task->pi_lock);

The patch that works for me is attached below
