syzbot reported the following ABBA deadlock:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
n_vclocks_store()
lock(&ptp->n_vclocks_mux) [1]
(physical clock)
pc_clock_adjtime()
lock(&clk->rwsem) [2]
(physical clock)
...
ptp_clock_freerun()
ptp_vclock_in_use()
lock(&ptp->n_vclocks_mux) [3]
(physical clock)
ptp_clock_unregister()
posix_clock_unregister()
lock(&clk->rwsem) [4]
(virtual clock)
Since ptp virtual clock is registered only under ptp physical clock, both
ptp_clock and posix_clock must be physical clocks for ptp_vclock_in_use()
to lock &ptp->n_vclocks_mux and check ptp->n_vclocks.
However, when unregistering vclocks in n_vclocks_store(), the locking
ptp->n_vclocks_mux is a physical clock lock, but clk->rwsem of
ptp_clock_unregister() called through device_for_each_child_reverse()
is a virtual clock lock.
Therefore, clk->rwsem used in CPU0 and clk->rwsem used in CPU1 are
different locks, but in lockdep, a false positive occurs because the
possibility of deadlock is determined through lock-class.
To solve this, lock subclass annotation must be added to the posix_clock
rwsem of the vclock.

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 reStructuredText 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.
