Great!

With this patch applied (on 2.6.39-rc4), lockdep warns on
"cat /proc/locktest1 /proc/locktest2 /proc/locktest1" case
as with "cat /proc/locktest2 /proc/locktest1" case.

Thank you.

[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.39-rc4 #3
-------------------------------------------------------
cat/4363 is trying to acquire lock:
 (brlock1_lock_dep_map){++++..}, at: [<e0838000>] brlock1_local_lock+0x0/0x60 [locktest]

but task is already holding lock:
 (&(&(&seqlock1)->lock)->rlock){+.+...}, at: [<e083811d>] locktest_open1+0xd/0x40 [locktest]

which lock already depends on the new lock.


the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

other info that might help us debug this:
