I hit the check_flags error of lockdep:
WARNING: at kernel/lockdep.c:2893 check_flags+0x1a7/0x1d0()
[...]
hardirqs last enabled at (12567): [<ffffffff8026206a>] local_bh_enable+0xaa/0x110
hardirqs last disabled at (12569): [<ffffffff80610c76>] int3+0x16/0x40

softirqs last disabled at (12568): [<ffffffff8058454e>] tcp_prequeue_process+0x2e/0xa0
The check_flags warning of lockdep tells me that lockdep thought interrupts
were disabled, but they were really enabled.
The numbers in the above parenthesis show the order of events:
12566: softirqs last enabled: lock_sock_nested
12567: hardirqs last enabled: local_bh_enable
12568: softirqs last disabled: tcp_prequeue_process
12566: hardirqs last disabled: int3
int3 is a breakpoint!
Examining this further, I have CONFIG_NET_TCPPROBE enabled which adds
break points into the kernel.
The paranoid_exit of the return of int3 does not account for enabling
interrupts on return to kernel. This code is a bit tricky since it
is also used by the nmi handler (when lockdep is off), and we must be
careful about the swapgs. We can not call kernel code after the swapgs
has been performed.
[ Impact: fix lockdep check_flags warning + self-turn-off ]
