[ Upstream commit055ca83559] When you try to splice between a normal pipe and a notification pipe, get_pipe_info(..., true) fails, so splice() falls back to treating the notification pipe like a normal pipe - so we end up in iter_file_splice_write(), which first locks the input pipe, then calls vfs_iter_write(), which locks the output pipe. Lockdep complains about that, because we're taking a pipe lock while already holding another pipe lock. I think this probably (?) can't actually lead to deadlocks, since you'd need another way to nest locking a normal pipe into locking a watch_queue pipe, but the lockdep annotations don't make that clear. Bail out earlier in pipe_write() for notification pipes, before taking the pipe lock.

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.
