======================================================
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
6.16.0-rc1-syzkaller-g306e57988197 #0 Not tainted
------------------------------------------------------
syz.2.1700/14665 is trying to acquire lock:
ffffaf801a5d9a30 (&nbd->config_lock){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: nbd_open+0x3c0/0x6fe drivers/block/nbd.c:1703

but task is already holding lock:
ffffffff88e269e8 (nbd_index_mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: nbd_open+0x98/0x6fe drivers/block/nbd.c:1690

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:
  &nbd->config_lock --> &disk->open_mutex --> nbd_index_mutex

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(nbd_index_mutex);
                               lock(&disk->open_mutex);
                               lock(nbd_index_mutex);
  lock(&nbd->config_lock);
