commitd7fe143cb1upstream. Syzbot reports a problem that a warning will be triggered while searching a lock class in look_up_lock_class(). The cause of the issue is that a new name is created and used by lockdep_set_subclass() instead of using the existing one. This results in a lock instance has a different name pointer than previous registered one stored in lock class, and WARN_ONCE() is triggered because of that in look_up_lock_class(). To fix this, change lockdep_set_subclass() to use the existing name instead of a new one. Hence, no new name will be created by lockdep_set_subclass(). Hence, the warning is avoided.

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.
