Subject: lockdep wierdness...

I'm seeing lockdep warning about a potential lock inversion between
&mm->mmap_sem and &inode->i_mutex in NFS (see attachment).

Unfortunately the basis for the warning appears to be the behaviour in
ext3(???). AFAICS there is no way for NFS to share an inode->i_mutex
with ext3. What to do?
