Subject: fb+drm: possible circular locking dependency detected

With radeon KMS, after using a program accessing the framebuffer,
I started X and got this:

=======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.34-rc6 #117
-------------------------------------------------------
X/1846 is trying to acquire lock:
 (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<ffffffff8108d36f>] might_fault+0x57/0xa4

but task is already holding lock:
 (&dev->mode_config.mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff8125f258>] drm_mode_getresources+0x33/0x54d

which lock already depends on the new lock.


the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

other info that might help us debug this:

1 lock held by X/1846:
 #0:  (&dev->mode_config.mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff8125f258>] drm_mode_getresources+0x33/0x54d
