Huh? Sample of output here:

Looks like a stack trace to me; seeing one of the callers of fdget_pos()
in that would tell you who's currently holding *some* ->f_pos_lock.

That - on 6.1.42, with fairly bland .config (minimal debugging;
I need that box for fast builds, among other things). Enable
lockdep and you'll get who's holding which logs in addition
to those stack traces...
