It looks like a skge bug

=========================================================
[ INFO: possible irq lock inversion dependency detected ]
---------------------------------------------------------
swapper/0 just changed the state of lock:
(tasklist_lock){..-?}, at: [<c0128092>] send_group_sig_info+0x16/0x34
but this lock took another, soft-irq-unsafe lock in the past:
 (&sig->stats_lock){--..}

and interrupts could create inverse lock ordering between them.


other info that might help us debug this:
no locks held by swapper/0.

the first lock's dependencies:
-> (tasklist_lock){..-?} ops: 13763 {
  initial-use  at:
                       [<c01353ab>] lock_acquire+0x60/0x80
