I explained this lockdep annotation bug a couple of days ago. https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-fsdevel/msg102588.html And this isn't the first time I've explained this either. ISTR this same issue triggered a long whole discussion about how to move memory allocation to task based context flags or to push more context specific information into the shrinkers so they could decide if the needed to avoid deadlocks or not. That was about 6 months ago, IIRC, and there's been no followup from the mm side of things...
