syz.2.380/6075 is trying to acquire lock:
ffffffff8cd3d7a8 (input_mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: input_register_device+0xb66/0x1140 drivers/input/input.c:2422

but task is already holding lock:
ffff888059861ee0 (&hdev->ll_open_lock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: hid_hw_close+0x2c/0xd0 drivers/hid/hid-core.c:2153

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:
  input_mutex --> &dev->mutex#2 --> &hdev->ll_open_lock

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&hdev->ll_open_lock);
                               lock(&dev->mutex#2);
                               lock(&hdev->ll_open_lock);
  lock(input_mutex);
