While fuzzing with trinity inside a KVM tools guest running the latest -next kernel I've stumbled on the following:

I've once (3.14-rc5) seen the same warning also caused by xfstests/generic/224
I think this is from my sysfs patches. We call kobject_add while holding the group_sem. kobject_add ultimately allocates with GFP_KERNEL, so it can enter reclaim. This particular case isn't dangerous, but it could hit while hot-adding a device. The fix should be pretty simple.
Is that fix available anywhere? I'm still seeing the issue in -next.
It is: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v1/url?u=https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/3894781/&k=ZVNjlDMF0FElm4dQtryO4A%3D%3D%0A&r=6%2FL0lzzDhu0Y1hL9xm%2BQyA%3D%3D%0A&m=HQJVSK4wPTft1zWwI1cGvwj5OfdmN5UItVlucU1K31o%3D%0A&s=5113699a2e7345a779333c87dd5b1d88b4410a7c7fcd5fa424baeb838ad7d31b , will probably hit -rc2
Its in the integration branch now along with some other important fixes.
We'll get it out shortly
