I'm not sure what condition triggered this warning.
If the seqlock is acquired once in softirq and then in process context
again it is enough evidence for lockdep to trigger this warning.
No. As I said that should not happen because of NAPI guard.
Again: lockdep saw the lock in softirq context once and in process
context once and this is what triggers the warning. It does not matter
if NAPI is enabled or not during the access in process context. If you
want to allow this you need further lockdep annotation…

… but: refill_work() disables NAPI for &vi->rq[1] and refills + updates
stats while NAPI is enabled for &vi->rq[0].
