The issue seems to be that sys_renameat() does lock_rename() then calls into the filesystem; if the filesystem is ecryptfs, then ecryptfs_rename() again does lock_rename() on the lower filesystem, and lockdep can't tell that the two s_vfs_rename_mutexes are different. It seems an annotation like the following is sufficient to fix this (it does get rid of the lockdep trace in my simple tests); however I would like to make sure I'm not misunderstanding the locking, hence the CC list...
