Is it a regression? AFAIK it is a bug that has been there
forever... My original plan was to simply wait for 5.12, so it gets
full release of testing...

It may have been a pre-existing bug which got triggered by libata
changes?

Fixes tag suggests it is rather old.

I don't know. I almost always run all my locally build kernels with lockdep
enabled and as the maintainer of the vboxvideo, vboxguest and vboxsf guest
drivers in the mainline kernel I quite often boot local build kernels inside
a vm.

So I believe that lockdep tripping over this is new in 5.11, which is why
I called it a regression.

And the fix seems very safe and simple, so IMHO it would be good to get
this into 5.11

It is in 5.11 now, and also -stable kernels. (Which suprised me a
bit).

Testing would be welcome.

I've been running my locally build kernels with this patch added for
a while now. Including inside VirtualBox where the bug triggered before.

I've not seen any bad side-effects from having this patch in my local
kernels and I can confirm that it fixes the issue which I was seeing.

Hans
