So those two barr->done could not be the same instance, IIUC. Therefore the deadlock case is not possible. The problem here is all barr->done instances are initialized at insert_wq_barrier() and they belongs to the same lock class, to fix this, we need to differ barr->done with different lock classes based on the corresponding works.
