It seems like it’s my mistake, I misidentify thread_irq as runing inside
irq context. Then it’s truth that the patch is unnecessary.

The static analysis tool is built by me, I noticed lockdep occasionally reports
such similar deadlocks in other place thus intent to build a static tool to locate
such bugs. It has detected other true bugs these days but it’s a pity this
one is really a false positive.

Indeed thanks so much for your time and sorry for bothering you with the false report.

Thanks again,
