Hi Song and Guoqing,
Here is the step how I encounter the lockdep warning (yes lockdep engine
enabled),
export IMSM_NO_PLATFORM=1
mdadm -CR imsm0 -e imsm -n 4 /dev/nvme{0,1,2,3}n1
mdadm -CR vol5 -l 5 -n 3 /dev/nvme{0,1,2}n1 --assume-clean
mdadm --manage --stop /dev/md126
(The warning message shows up when I run the above line to stop md126)
mdadm --manage --stop /dev/md127
The kernel is just upstream Linux kernel with 5.6-rc7 tag. I use 4 NVMe
SSD to reproduce another issue, and encounter the following warning by
the above steps,
