Looks like this never got fixed and now this bug is in 5.2.

Just got this:

 ======================================================
 WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
 5.2.0-test #15 Not tainted
 ------------------------------------------------------
 slub_cpu_partia/899 is trying to acquire lock:
 000000000f6f2dd7 (slab_mutex){+.+.}, at: slab_attr_store+0x6d/0xe0
 
 but task is already holding lock:
 00000000b23ffe3d (kn->count#160){++++}, at: kernfs_fop_write+0x125/0x230
 
 which lock already depends on the new lock.
 
 
 the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
 
 -> #1 (kn->count#160){++++}:
        __kernfs_remove+0x413/0x4a0
        kernfs_remove_by_name_ns+0x40/0x80
        sysfs_slab_add+0x1b5/0x2f0
        __kmem_cache_create+0x511/0x560
        create_cache+0xcd/0x1f0
        kmem_cache_create_usercopy+0x18a/0x240

        do_syscall_64+0x68/0x250
        entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe
 
 -> #0 (slab_mutex){+.+.}:
        lock_acquire+0xbd/0x1d0
        __mutex_lock+0xfc/0xb70
        slab_attr_store+0x6d/0xe0

        do_syscall_64+0x68/0x250
        entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe
 
 other info that might help us debug this:
 
  Possible unsafe locking scenario:
 
        CPU0                    CPU1
        ----                    ----
   lock(kn->count#160);
                                lock(slab_mutex);
                                lock(kn->count#160);
   lock(slab_mutex);
 
  *** DEADLOCK ***
 


Attached is a config and the full dmesg.
