commit 918b8ac55b6c809b70aa05c279087109584e393e upstream vhci_hcd calls sysfs_create_group() with dynamically allocated sysfs attributes triggering the lock-class key not persistent warning. Call sysfs_attr_init() for dynamically allocated sysfs attributes to fix it. vhci_hcd vhci_hcd: USB/IP Virtual Host Controller vhci_hcd vhci_hcd: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 2 BUG: key ffff88006a7e8d18 not in .data! ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at kernel/locking/lockdep.c:3131 lockdep_init_map+0x60c/0x770 DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(1)[ 1.567044] Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 4.9.0-rc7+ #58 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS Bochs 01/01/2011 ffff88006bce6eb8 ffffffff81f96c8a ffffffff00000a02 1ffff1000d79cd6a ffffed000d79cd62 000000046bce6ed8 0000000041b58ab3 ffffffff8598af40 ffffffff81f969f8 0000000000000000 0000000041b58ab3 0000000000000200 Call Trace: [< inline >] __dump_stack lib/dump_stack.c:15 [<ffffffff81f96c8a>] dump_stack+0x292/0x398 lib/dump_stack.c:51 [<ffffffff812b808f>] __warn+0x19f/0x1e0 kernel/panic.c:550 [<ffffffff812b8195>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0xc5/0x110 kernel/panic.c:565 [<ffffffff813f3efc>] lockdep_init_map+0x60c/0x770 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:3131 [<ffffffff819e43d4>] __kernfs_create_file+0x114/0x2a0 fs/kernfs/file.c:954 [<ffffffff819e68f5>] sysfs_add_file_mode_ns+0x225/0x520 fs/sysfs/file.c:305 [< inline >] create_files fs/sysfs/group.c:64 [<ffffffff819e8a89>] internal_create_group+0x239/0x8f0 fs/sysfs/group.c:134 [<ffffffff819e915f>] sysfs_create_group+0x1f/0x30 fs/sysfs/group.c:156 [<ffffffff8323de24>] vhci_start+0x5b4/0x7a0 drivers/usb/usbip/vhci_hcd.c:978 [<ffffffff82c907ca>] usb_add_hcd+0x8da/0x1c60 drivers/usb/core/hcd.c:2867 [<ffffffff8323bc57>] vhci_hcd_probe+0x97/0x130 drivers/usb/usbip/vhci_hcd.c:1103 --- --- ---[ end trace c33c7b202cf3aac8 ]--- Reported-by: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan <shuahkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Greg, Please apply this fix to 4.9 stable.
