===================================================
[ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ]
---------------------------------------------------
kernel/pid.c:419 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection!

other info that might help us debug this:


rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 1
1 lock held by scrashme/13382:
#0: (tasklist_lock){.?.?..}, at: [<ffffffff8106ddea>] check_clock+0x46/0x9a
