Hi,
our daily CI linux-next test reported the following finding on s390x arch:
LOCKDEP_CIRCULAR (suite: ltp, case: mtest06 (mmap1))
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
5.17.0-20220113.rc0.git0.f2211f194038.300.fc35.s390x+debug #1 Not tainted
------------------------------------------------------
mmap1/202299 is trying to acquire lock:
00000001892c0188 (css_set_lock){..-.}-{2:2}, at: obj_cgroup_release+0x4a/0xe0
but task is already holding lock:
00000000ca3b3818 (&sighand->siglock){-.-.}-{2:2}, at: force_sig_info_to_task+0x38/0x180
which lock already depends on the new lock.
the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
