fs: lockup on rename_mutex in fs/dcache.c:1035

[Sasha Levin]

Hi all,

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

[ 6172.870045] =============================================

[ 6172.870045] trinity-c55/12752 is trying to acquire lock:

[ 6172.870045] but task is already holding lock:

[ 6172.870045] other info that might help us debug this:

The machine proceeded to actually lock up, so this isn't a false positive.


Thanks,
