The driver may sleep under a read rcu lock, and function call path is: xfs_iget (acquire the lock by rcu_read_lock) "goto out_error_or_again" after xfs_iget_cache_hit delay schedule_timeout_uninterruptible --> may sleep Meanwhile, the rcu_read_lock will be called twice in this situation. To fix it, the lock is released before "goto".
