From: Dan Schatzberg <schatzberg.dan@gmail.com>
Subject: loop: fix irq lock ordering bug
"loop: Use worker per cgroup instead of kworker" in patch series "Charge
loop device i/o to issuing cgroup", v3. introduced a lock ordering bug.
The previously existing lo->lo_lock was always acquired as spin_lock_irq
but never actually used in irq context. The above patch started to use
this lock in irq context which triggered a lockdep warning on sysfs
reading.
Fix this by executing file_path outside of the lock.
