Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: don't take dev_replace rwsem on task already holding it
Running fstests btrfs/011 with MKFS_OPTIONS="-O rst" to force the usage of the RAID stripe-tree, we get the following splat from lockdep:
BTRFS info (device sdd): dev_replace from /dev/sdd (devid 1) to /dev/sdb started
============================================ WARNING: possible recursive locking detected 6.11.0-rc3-btrfs-for-next #599 Not tainted

May be due to missing lock nesting notation
