Subject: Re: [syzbot] possible deadlock in bd_register_pending_holders

Since commit dfbb3409b27fa42b in axboe/linux-block.git#block-5.15 breaks
"sb_writers#$N => &p->lock => major_names_lock" dependency chain,
I think that this dependency chain should be no longer possible.

#syz fix: block: genhd: don't call blkdev_show() with major_names_lock held
