A\B\C is task.
L1\L2 is lock.
adj: means rt_mutex_adjust_prio_chain()

key process:
    1. A owns L1,and blocked on L2.
    2. B blocked on L1,B execute mutex_lock or spinlock will adjust A's
       priority by execute adj func.
    3. before execute adj,it will unlock L1->wait_lock
    4. If at this point,C release L2.A owns L2,and finish the whole thread
       work very quickly,Finally the B thread exited.In this process,
       unlock L1 will assign 0x1 to L1->owner,what orign value is A
       task_struct.But in adj func,the parameter of task is still A's
       pointer.becaues of A already exited,put_task_struct will release
       task A.
    5. If local page.lock is locked,it will cause a BUG_ON,becaues one
       task A be blocked on two lock.

The current upstream kernel/locking/rtmutex.c has no BUG_ON() call. 
Which version of the kernel are you using?

Cheers,

The Linux version is 5.10.
The upstream has indeed removed the BUG_ON, But in rt_mutex_adjust_prio_chain()
it is still possible to have a thread is blocked by two locks. Can this situation
be ignored without BUG_ON?

Thanks.

No. However, we don't remove the lock like what you do with your patch. 
It will corrupt the data if multiple CPUs are allowed to run 
rt_mutex_adjust_prio_chain() for the same rt_mutex simultaneously. You 
need to find a way to fix the underlying problem.

BTW, I still can't see a BUG_ON at line 1331 of rtmutex.c with a v5.10 
kernel. Does your source tree have some out-of-tree patches that 
modifies rtmutex?

Cheers,
Longman

Yes, I'm sorry I overlooked that earlier. We applied the RT patch,and
the BUG_ON are also introduced by these patches.

Back to the question, I think remove the wait_lock unlock before
rt_mutex_adjust_prio_chain() is more likely to protect some data. The
commont on task_blocks_on_rt_mutex() indicates that must be called with
wait_lock held, but it unlock before call rt_mutex_adjust_prio_chain().
This may cause the owner thread to unlock the orig_lock and exit the
thead. Finally, when calling put_task_struct(owner) in
rt_mutex_adjust_prio_chain(), the thread is blocked by another lock that
is deeply hidden.

Actully, I'm not sure why rt_mutex_adjust_prio_chain()
dosen't need wait_lock protection.

Thanks again.
