Subject: INFO: possible recursive locking detected dev_deactivate

Hi

With kernel from yesterdays' git (08/07/28) (sorry I've already
deleted any traces for more precise commit number) - I've just found
the bactrace in the log running already today's 2.6.27-rc1.

Happened during the reboot of 2.6.26
As usually T61, 2GB, C2D

(wlan0): now unmanaged
(wlan0): device state change: 3 -> 1
(wlan0): cleaning up...
(wlan0): taking down device.

=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
2.6.26 #47
---------------------------------------------
NetworkManager/2623 is trying to acquire lock:
 (_xmit_IEEE80211#2){-...}, at: [<ffffffff812a3cd2>] dev_deactivate+0x82/0x150

but task is already holding lock:
 (_xmit_IEEE80211#2){-...}, at: [<ffffffff812a3cd2>] dev_deactivate+0x82/0x150

other info that might help us debug this:
2 locks held by NetworkManager/2623:
 #0:  (rtnl_mutex){--..}, at: [<ffffffff8129ca0a>] rtnetlink_rcv+0x1a/0x40
 #1:  (_xmit_IEEE80211#2){-...}, at: [<ffffffff812a3cd2>]
dev_deactivate+0x82/0x150
