This is

/*
* Oi! Can't be having __GFP_FS allocations with IRQs disabled.
*/
if (DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(irqs_disabled_flags(flags)))
return;

This has to be

static struct worker *create_worker(struct global_cwq *gcwq, bool bind)
{
bool on_unbound_cpu = gcwq->cpu == WORK_CPU_UNBOUND;
struct worker *worker = NULL;
int id = -1;

spin_lock_irq(&gcwq->lock);
while (ida_get_new(&gcwq->worker_ida, &id)) {
spin_unlock_irq(&gcwq->lock);
if (!ida_pre_get(&gcwq->worker_ida, GFP_KERNEL))

and GFP_KERNEL has __GFP_FS.

Let's add some more people to CC.

Tejun, this create_worker() uses ida_pre_get() with GFP_KERNEL mask
but lockdep complains about __GFP_FS allocations with IRQs off in
__lockdep_trace_alloc. What's up?

Hmmm...
