Potential deadlock in `GDALAllRegister()`

Potential deadlock in GDALAllRegister()

WARNING: ThreadSanitizer: lock-order-inversion (potential deadlock) (pid=9528)

This can be a "red herring" as sanitizer might not understanding code correctly ^

Steps to reproduce the problem.

#include <iostream>
#include <gdal_version.h>
#include <gdal_priv.h>
int main()
{
    std::cerr << "GDAL" << std::endl;
    GDALAllRegister();
    std::cerr << "Done" << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

"g++"   -fPIC -O0 -fno-inline -Wall -g -fsanitize=thread -fno-omit-frame-pointer   -I"$(GDAL_DIR)/include" -c -o "bin/gcc-8.2.0/debug/main.o" "main.cpp"

"g++" -L"$(GDAL_DIR)/lib" -Wl,-rpath -Wl,"$(GDAL_DIR)/lib" -Wl,-rpath-link -Wl,"$(GDAL_DIR)/lib" -o "bin/gcc-8.2.0/debug/gdal-bug" -Wl,--start-group "bin/gcc-8.2.0/debug/main.o"  -Wl,-Bstatic  -Wl,-Bdynamic -lgdal -Wl,--end-group -fPIC -g -fsanitize=thread

Output:

Has this problem been addressed? I just ran into the same issue, reproduced with both clang and gcc thread sanitizers. I am using libgdal 3.5.1 (via opencv), on Ubuntu 22.10.

I also have the same issue on Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS.

I confirm it's still an issue for Ubuntu 22.04.
