Re: [syzbot] [kernfs?] possible deadlock in kernfs_fop_llseek

[syzbot]

Hello,

syzbot has tested the proposed patch but the reproducer is still triggering an issue:
possible deadlock in kernfs_fop_llseek

======================================================
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
6.8.0-syzkaller-08951-gfe46a7dd189e-dirty #0 Not tainted
------------------------------------------------------
syz-executor.0/5486 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff88807ec0b888 (&of->mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: kernfs_fop_llseek+0x7e/0x2a0 fs/kernfs/file.c:867

but task is already holding lock:
ffff888050982238 (&ovl_i_lock_key[depth]){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: ovl_inode_lock fs/overlayfs/overlayfs.h:649 [inline]
ffff888050982238 (&ovl_i_lock_key[depth]){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: ovl_llseek+0x28a/0x4a0 fs/overlayfs/file.c:215

which lock already depends on the new lock.


the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  &of->mutex --> &ovl_i_mutex_dir_key[depth] --> &ovl_i_lock_key[depth]

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&ovl_i_lock_key[depth]);
                               lock(&ovl_i_mutex_dir_key[depth]);
                               lock(&ovl_i_lock_key[depth]);
  lock(&of->mutex);
