It is supposed to be handled by the re-initialisation of the ip->i_iolock in ->evict_inode (xfs_fs_evict_inode). An inode found in the reclaim state must have passed through this reinitialisation, so from a lockdep perspective the iolock in the vfs path is a different context to the iolock in the reclaim path. That fixed all the non-reclaim state related lockdep false positives, so Perhaps there is an issue with the lockdep reclaim state checking that does not interact well with re-initialised lock contexts?
