Lockdep on 6.4-rc on ThinkPad X1 Carbon 5th says ===================================================== WARNING: SOFTIRQ-safe -> SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock order detected 6.4.0-rc5 #1 Not tainted ----------------------------------------------------- kworker/3:1/49 [HC0[0]:SC0[4]:HE1:SE0] is trying to acquire: ffff8881066fa368 (&mvm_sta->deflink.lq_sta.rs_drv.pers.lock){+.+.}-{2:2}, at: rs_drv_get_rate+0x46/0xe7 and this task is already holding: ffff8881066f80a8 (&sta->rate_ctrl_lock){+.-.}-{2:2}, at: rate_control_get_rate+0xbd/0x126 which would create a new lock dependency: (&sta->rate_ctrl_lock){+.-.}-{2:2} -> (&mvm_sta->deflink.lq_sta.rs_drv.pers.lock){+.+.}-{2:2} but this new dependency connects a SOFTIRQ-irq-safe lock: (&sta->rate_ctrl_lock){+.-.}-{2:2} etc. etc. etc. Changing the spin_lock() in rs_drv_get_rate() to spin_lock_bh() was not enough to pacify lockdep, but changing them all on pers.lock has worked.
