syz.1.616/7816 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff888074bb9970 (&p->frag_sem){.+.+}-{4:4}, at: __configfs_open_file+0xe8/0x9c0 fs/configfs/file.c:304

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:
  &p->frag_sem --> sb_writers#6 --> &ima_iint_mutex_key[depth]

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&ima_iint_mutex_key[depth]);
                               lock(sb_writers#6);
                               lock(&ima_iint_mutex_key[depth]);
  rlock(&p->frag_sem);
