Sincerely appreciate for your answers!

Could it be modified as below? It seems not necessary to call
rt_mutex_dequeue() and clear the current->pi_blocked_on if there's no
waiter on the lock. And the waiter->task is not the 'current' when the
remove_waiter() is called in the function rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock().

 static void remove_waiter(struct rt_mutex *lock,
                          struct rt_mutex_waiter *waiter)
 {
-       bool is_top_waiter = (waiter == rt_mutex_top_waiter(lock));
        struct task_struct *owner = rt_mutex_owner(lock);
        struct rt_mutex *next_lock = NULL;
+       bool is_top_waiter;
+ struct task_struct *task = waiter->task;
        unsigned long flags;

+       /*
+        * @waiter might be not queued when task_blocks_on_rt_mutex()
+        * returned early so @lock might not have any waiters.
+        */
+       if (unlikely(!rt_mutex_has_waiters()))
+ return;
+
+       is_top_waiter = (waiter == rt_mutex_top_waiter(lock));
+
-       raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&current->pi_lock, flags);
-       rt_mutex_dequeue(lock, waiter);
-       current->pi_blocked_on = NULL;
- raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&current->pi_lock, flags);
+ raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&task->pi_lock, flags);
+       rt_mutex_dequeue(lock, waiter);
+       task->pi_blocked_on = NULL;
+ __rt_mutex_adjust_prio(task);    <-- I'm not sure if it is necessary.
+ raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&task->pi_lock, flags);

......
- rt_mutex_adjust_prio_chain(owner, 0, lock, next_lock, NULL, current);
+ rt_mutex_adjust_prio_chain(owner, 0, lock, next_lock, NULL, task);
......
 }

I'm sorry for so many questions.
Thanks ahead!
