syz-executor739/4205 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff88806f51c520 (&type->i_mutex_dir_key#6/1){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: inode_lock_nested include/linux/fs.h:822 [inline]

but task is already holding lock:
ffff888023118460 (sb_writers#9){.+.+}-{0:0}, at: mnt_want_write+0x3d/0x90 fs/namespace.c:377

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:
  &type->i_mutex_dir_key#6/1 --> &sbi->lock --> sb_writers#9

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(sb_writers#9);
                               lock(&sbi->lock);
                               lock(sb_writers#9);
  lock(&type->i_mutex_dir_key#6/1);
