This poses a possibility of recursive locking,

Patches that fix a lockdep complaint should include the full lockdep complaint.

Since the fixed lockdep complaint didn't trigger a deadlock it must be
a false positive complaint, isn't it? Such complaints should be fixed
but without additional information we can't tell what the best way is to
fix the complaint.

Thanks,
