Subject: [REGRESSION 2.6-git] possible circular locking dependency detected with XFS

Hi all!

I found this info:

=======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.22-rc5-wifi1 #2
-------------------------------------------------------
mount/2209 is trying to acquire lock:
 (&(&ip->i_lock)->mr_lock/1){--..}, at: [<c022b62d>] xfs_ilock+0x66/0x90

but task is already holding lock:
 (&(&ip->i_lock)->mr_lock){----}, at: [<c022b62d>] xfs_ilock+0x66/0x90

which lock already depends on the new lock.


the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

other info that might help us debug this:

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

when enable the CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING option.
