Commit804e498e04("sd: convert to the atomic queue limits API") introduced pairs of function calls to queue_limits_start_update() and queue_limits_commit_update(). These two functions lock and unlock q->limits_lock. In sd_revalidate_disk(), sd_read_cpr() is called after queue_limits_start_update() call and before queue_limits_commit_update() call. sd_read_cpr() locks q->sysfs_dir_lock and &q->sysfs_lock. Then new lock dependencies were created between q->limits_lock, q->sysfs_dir_lock and q->sysfs_lock, as follows: sd_revalidate_disk queue_limits_start_update mutex_lock(&q->limits_lock) sd_read_cpr disk_set_independent_access_ranges mutex_lock(&q->sysfs_dir_lock) mutex_lock(&q->sysfs_lock) mutex_unlock(&q->sysfs_lock) mutex_unlock(&q->sysfs_dir_lock) queue_limits_commit_update mutex_unlock(&q->limits_lock) However, the three locks already had reversed dependencies in other places. Then the new dependencies triggered the lockdep WARN "possible circular locking dependency detected" [1]. This WARN was observed by running the blktests test case srp/002. To avoid the WARN, move the sd_read_cpr() call in sd_revalidate_disk() after the queue_limits_commit_update() call. In other words, move the sd_read_cpr() call out of the q->limits_lock region.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
