Hello,

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

======================================================
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
syzkaller #0 Not tainted
------------------------------------------------------
syz.1.18/6463 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff888032ccf968 (kn->active#59){++++}-{0:0}, at: __kernfs_remove+0x3cf/0x660 fs/kernfs/dir.c:1513

but task is already holding lock:
ffffffff8de0ad98 (cgroup_mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: cgroup_lock include/linux/cgroup.h:394 [inline]
ffffffff8de0ad98 (cgroup_mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: cgroup_kn_lock_live+0x13c/0x230 kernel/cgroup/cgroup.c:1732

which lock already depends on the new lock.


the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

Hello,

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

======================================================
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
syzkaller #0 Not tainted
------------------------------------------------------
syz.1.18/6652 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff88803634de18 (kn->active#59){++++}-{0:0}, at: __kernfs_remove+0x3cf/0x660 fs/kernfs/dir.c:1513

but task is already holding lock:
ffffffff8de0ad98 (cgroup_mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: cgroup_lock include/linux/cgroup.h:394 [inline]
ffffffff8de0ad98 (cgroup_mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: cgroup_kn_lock_live+0x13c/0x230 kernel/cgroup/cgroup.c:1732

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:
  kn->active#59 --> &kernfs_locks->open_file_mutex[count] --> cgroup_mutex

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(cgroup_mutex);
                               lock(&kernfs_locks->open_file_mutex[count]);
                               lock(cgroup_mutex);
  lock(kn->active#59);
