syz.5.412/7021 is trying to acquire lock:

ffff888026933bc0 (&q->blkcg_mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: blkg_conf_prep+0xa3/0xd80 block/blk-cgroup.c:846

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:
  fs_reclaim --> &q->q_usage_counter(io)#17 --> &q->blkcg_mutex

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&q->blkcg_mutex);
                               lock(&q->q_usage_counter(io)#17);
                               lock(&q->blkcg_mutex);
  lock(fs_reclaim);
