syz.9.4116/22505 is trying to acquire lock:

but task is already holding lock:

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:
  gadget_subsys.su_mutex --> &opts->dep_lock --> &sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#28

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#28);
                               lock(&opts->dep_lock);
                               lock(&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#28);
  lock(gadget_subsys.su_mutex);
