syz.1.3592/19238 is trying to acquire lock:

ffff88804fb8f060 (&subsys->lock){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: nvmet_ns_enable+0x4d/0x780 drivers/nvme/target/core.c:583

which lock already depends on the new lock.


the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  &ima_iint_mutex_key[depth] --> &p->frag_sem --> &subsys->lock

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&subsys->lock);
                               lock(&p->frag_sem);
                               lock(&subsys->lock);
  lock(&ima_iint_mutex_key[depth]);
