Subject: v2.6.28-rc1: possible recursive locking detected

Hi,

I think that this wasn't my fault. It's v2.6.28-rc1+kmemcheck.

=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
2.6.28-rc1 #58
---------------------------------------------
cat/25690 is trying to acquire lock:
 (&hashbin->hb_spinlock){....}, at: [<c1780e1f>] irias_seq_show+0x3f/0x180

but task is already holding lock:
 (&hashbin->hb_spinlock){....}, at: [<c1780f95>] irias_seq_start+0x15/0x90

other info that might help us debug this:
2 locks held by cat/25690:
 #0:  (&p->lock){--..}, at: [<c0502545>] seq_read+0x25/0x2e0
 #1:  (&hashbin->hb_spinlock){....}, at: [<c1780f95>] irias_seq_start+0x15/0x90
