When IOCB_CMD_POLL is used on a userfaultfd, aio_poll() disables IRQs
and takes kioctx::ctx_lock, then userfaultfd_ctx::fd_wqh.lock.
This may have to wait for userfaultfd_ctx::fd_wqh.lock to be released by
userfaultfd_ctx_read(), which in turn can be waiting for
userfaultfd_ctx::fault_pending_wqh.lock or
userfaultfd_ctx::event_wqh.lock.
But elsewhere the fault_pending_wqh and event_wqh locks are taken with
IRQs enabled. Since the IRQ handler may take kioctx::ctx_lock, lockdep
reports that a deadlock is possible.
Fix it by always disabling IRQs when taking the fault_pending_wqh and
event_wqh locks.
Commit ae62c16e105a ("userfaultfd: disable irqs when taking the
waitqueue lock") didn't fix this because it only accounted for the
fd_wqh lock, not the other locks nested inside it.

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.
