Lai Yi reported a lockdep complaint about circular locking:
Chain exists of:
&lp->qli_lock --> &bch->bc_lock --> &l->lock
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
lock(&l->lock);
lock(&bch->bc_lock);
lock(&l->lock);
lock(&lp->qli_lock);
I /think/ the problem here is that xfs_dquot_attach_buf during
quotacheck will release the buffer while it's holding the qli_lock.
Because this is a cached buffer, xfs_buf_rele_cached takes b_lock before
decrementing b_hold. Other threads have taught lockdep that a locking
dependency chain is bp->b_lock -> bch->bc_lock -> l(ru)->lock; and that
another chain is l(ru)->lock -> lp->qli_lock. Hence we do not want to
take b_lock while holding qli_lock.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
