The patch titled Subject: mm: shmem.c: Correctly annotate new inodes for lockdep has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-shmem-correctly-annotate-new-inodes-for-lockdep.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------ From: "Joel Fernandes (Google)" joel@joelfernandes.org Subject: mm: shmem.c: Correctly annotate new inodes for lockdep
Directories and inodes don't necessarily need to be in the same lockdep class. For ex, hugetlbfs splits them out too to prevent false positives in lockdep. Annotate correctly after new inode creation. If its a directory inode, it will be put into a different class.
This should fix a lockdep splat reported by syzbot:

other info that might help us debug this:
Chain exists of: &sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#9 --> &mm->mmap_sem --> ashmem_mutex
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0 CPU1 ---- ----lock(ashmem_mutex); lock(&mm->mmap_sem); lock(ashmem_mutex); lock(&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#9);
