Lockdep connects soft irq (keyboard tasklet injecting led events) and vfs started (lease break) locking chains. In the test scenario the chains do not connect due to event type/code and client->fasync. commit 45a3e24f65e9 ("Linux 6.4-rc7") Backtrace ===================================================== WARNING:
