Sample crash report:

WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected

------------------------------------------------------
syz.1.1414/10567 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff88803997c410 (&set->update_nr_hwq_lock){++++}-{4:4}, at: add_disk_fwnode+0xe7/0x480 block/genhd.c:596

but task is already holding lock:

ffffffff8e74bdd8 (major_names_lock){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: blk_request_module+0x35/0x2a0 block/genhd.c:897

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:
  &set->update_nr_hwq_lock --> system_transition_mutex --> major_names_lock

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(major_names_lock);
                               lock(system_transition_mutex);
                               lock(major_names_lock);
  rlock(&set->update_nr_hwq_lock);
