Hi Reviewers,

This patch fixes a use-after-free error when /proc/lockdep is read by user after a lockdep splat.

I checked and I think this patch can be applied to stable-5.4 and later.

I do not see that commit id in Linus's tree, are you sure it is correct?

This commit is currently in the tip tree. It have not been merged into the mainline yet, though it should happen in the upcoming merge window.

Cheers, Longman
