Is there a document that explains what the meaning of these semantics?

inconsistent {HARDIRQ-ON-W} -> {IN-HARDIRQ-W} usage.
kdostartupconfi/3502 [HC1[1]:SC0[0]:HE0:SE1] takes:
 (&(&list->lock)->rlock#5){?.-...}, at: [<ffffffff812995c6>]
skb_queue_tail+0x26/0x60
{HARDIRQ-ON-W} state was registered at:
...
