From: Peter Zijlstra BUG: warning at kernel/rtmutex-debug.c:125/rt_mutex_debug_task_free() (Not tainted) [] show_trace_log_lvl+0x58/0x16a [] show_trace+0xd/0x10 [] dump_stack+0x19/0x1b [] rt_mutex_debug_task_free+0x35/0x6a [] free_task+0x15/0x24 [] copy_process+0x12bd/0x1324 [] do_fork+0x42/0x113 [] sys_fork+0x19/0x1b [] syscall_call+0x7/0xb In copy_process(), dup_task_struct() also duplicates the ->pi_lock, ->pi_waiters and ->pi_blocked_on members. rt_mutex_debug_task_free() called from free_task() validates these members. However free_task() can be invoked before these members are reset for the new task. Move the initialization code before the first bail that can hit free_task().
