Hi!

This is on my for-next branch:

commit 9a5ad5c5b2d25508996f10ee6b428d5df91d9160 (HEAD -> for-next, origin/for-next)

    leds: trigger: fix potential deadlock with libata
    
    We have the following potential deadlock condition:
    
     ========================================================
     WARNING: possible irq lock inversion dependency detected
     5.10.0-rc2+ #25 Not tainted
     --------------------------------------------------------
     swapper/3/0 just changed the state of lock:
     ffff8880063bd618 (&host->lock){-...}-{2:2}, at: ata_bmdma_interrupt+0x27/0x200
     but this lock took another, HARDIRQ-READ-unsafe lock in the past:
      (&trig->leddev_list_lock){.+.?}-{2:2}

If I'm not mistaken, that should fix your issue.

Best regards,

									Pavel
