Right.
But now I am not sure 2.6.29-rc7 is not affected, I will try to
reproduce it again.

It is 2G filesystem, I run
`dbench -c /usr/share/dbench/client.txt 10` or 5 clients.

Yesterday it happened when I run it for the first time, but today I
run it 10 times before I got the deadlock.

So, I think I need to try it on 2.6.29-rc7 again.
