Hi, I've seen the following lockdep warning after the 4.18 merges, it's probably a cross-subsystem locking issue so I waited some time if this will not go away after merge window.
Slab shrinker calls evict inode, in parallel there's an unmount in progress and at some point locks get taken in the wrong order.
