I did see a similar warning on ksoftirqd before mount resctrl during
boot time:
[ 65.611812] WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
[ 65.611813] 6.13.0-rc1-dsa+ #62 Not tainted
[ 65.611814] ------------------------------------------------------
[ 65.611815] ksoftirqd/4/44 is trying to acquire lock:
[ 65.611817] ffffffffa787fbb8 ((console_sem).lock){....}-{2:2}, at:
down_trylock+0x13/0x40
[ 65.611829]
but task is already holding lock:
[ 65.611830] ff4ed95eefb32898 (&rq->__lock){-.-.}-{2:2}, at:
raw_spin_rq_lock_nested+0x27/0x40
[ 65.643035]
which lock already depends on the new lock.
But I did not see the locking warning when mount resctrl. I don't use brtfs.
Thanks.
