Something similar used to happen a while back, but I had not seen it on 5.2.x rt patched kernels. It is back (or something very similar).

This is on Fedora 30 upgraded to the latest, and the kernel is based on (as I normally do) the source package for the equivalent Fedora kernel, with the RT patch added (and configured).

Thanks again for your work!

Changes since v5.4.17-rt8:

- A rework of percpu-rwsem locking. The fs core was using a
percpu-rwsem and returned with acquired lock to userland during
`fsfreeze' which led warnings. On !RT the warnings were disabled but
the same lockdep trick did not work on RT.
Reported by Juri Lelli, patch(es) by Peter Zijlstra.

- Include a header file the `current' macro to not break an allmod
build on ARM.

- A tweak to migrate_enable() to not having to wait until
stop_one_cpu_nowait() finishes in case CPU-mask changed during
migrate_disable() and the CPU has to be changed. Patch by Scott
Wood.

- Drop a lock earlier in mm/memcontrol. Not a bug but there is no need
for the additional locked section. Patch by Matt Fleming.

Known issues
- None
