WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
6.5.0-rc5-syzkaller-00353-gae545c3283dc #0 Not tainted
------------------------------------------------------
syz-executor273/5027 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff888077fe1fb0 (&fi->i_sem){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: f2fs_down_write fs/f2fs/f2fs.h:2133 [inline]
ffff888077fe1fb0 (&fi->i_sem){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: f2fs_add_inline_entry+0x300/0x6f0 fs/f2fs/inline.c:644

but task is already holding lock:
ffff888077fe07c8 (&fi->i_xattr_sem){.+.+}-{3:3}, at: f2fs_down_read fs/f2fs/f2fs.h:2108 [inline]

which lock already depends on the new lock.

the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
