Brian Foster reported a lockdep warning on xfs/167:
============================================
WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
5.11.0-rc4 #35 Tainted: G W I
--------------------------------------------
fsstress/17733 is trying to acquire lock:

but task is already holding lock:
ffff8e0fd1d90650 (sb_internal){++++}-{0:0}, at: xfs_trans_alloc_inode+0x5f/0x160 [xfs]

The cause of this is the new code that spurs a scan to garbage collect
speculative preallocations if we fail to reserve enough blocks while
allocating a transaction. While the warning itself is a fairly benign
lockdep complaint, it does expose a potential livelock if the rwsem
behavior ever changes with regards to nesting read locks when someone's
waiting for a write lock.
Fix this by freeing the transaction and jumping back to xfs_trans_alloc
like this patch in the V4 submission[1].

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 Restructured Text 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.
