stack_grow_into/14082 is trying to acquire lock:
(&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<c000000000206d28>] .might_fault+0x78/0xe0
but task is already holding lock:
(&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<c0000000007ffd8c>] .do_page_fault+0x24c/0x910
other info that might help us debug this:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0
----
lock(&mm->mmap_sem);
lock(&mm->mmap_sem);
*** DEADLOCK ***
May be due to missing lock nesting notation
