Syzbot reports a possible recursive lock in [1]. This happens due to missing lock nesting information. From the logs, we see that a call to hfs_fill_super is made to mount the hfs filesystem. While searching for the root inode, the lock on the catalog btree is grabbed. Then, when the parent of the root isn't found, a call to __hfs_bnode_create is made to create the parent of the root. This eventually leads to a call to hfs_ext_read_extent which grabs a lock on the extents btree. Since the order of locking is catalog btree -> extents btree, this lock hierarchy does not lead to a deadlock. To tell lockdep that this locking is safe, we add nesting notation to distinguish between catalog btrees, extents btrees, and attributes btrees (for HFS+). This has already been done in hfsplus.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
