Hello!

=======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.21.1-cfs-v11 #4
-------------------------------------------------------
tvtime/6360 is trying to acquire lock:
 (&mm->mmap_sem){----}, at: [<f8a6a50a>] 
videobuf_dma_init_user+0xb6/0x14e [video_buf]
 
but task is already holding lock:
 (&q->lock#2){--..}, at: [<f8a6ac43>] videobuf_qbuf+0x10/0x288 [video_buf]
 
which lock already depends on the new lock.
 
 
the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

 =======================


The TV card is saa7134.
Machine is AMD Athlon 64 X2. Fedora Core 6.

I get a lockup while watching TV about every month or two. Machine 
responds to ping, but nothing else.
