Subject: 2.6.29-rc4: possible circular locking dependency at 
	btrfs_try_spin_lock

Hi
Is it false positive lockdep warning?

[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.29-rc4-00001-gd5b5623 #2
-------------------------------------------------------
dbench/2193 is trying to acquire lock:
 (&eb->lock/7){--..}, at: [<ffffffff80448f1f>] btrfs_try_spin_lock+0x8f/0x1a0

but task is already holding lock:
 (&eb->lock#2/6){--..}, at: [<ffffffff80448df4>] btrfs_tree_lock+0xc4/0x160

which lock already depends on the new lock.

the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
