Subject: [bug] lockdep warning: module_mutex vs. ftrace_lock

=======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.29-09854-gd508afb-dirty #6
-------------------------------------------------------
modprobe/3184 is trying to acquire lock:
 (ftrace_lock){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff80277e71>] ftrace_convert_nops+0x32/0x267

but task is already holding lock:
 (module_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff8026a539>] sys_init_module+0x3f/0x1d3

which lock already depends on the new lock.


the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

-> #1 (module_mutex){+.+.+.}:
       [<ffffffff8026134a>] __lock_acquire+0x12fe/0x1668
       [<ffffffff802617a2>] lock_acquire+0xee/0x112
       [<ffffffff804fe0a6>] mutex_lock_nested+0x4f/0x305
       [<ffffffff8026709e>] module_update_tracepoints+0x1c/0x73

       [<ffffffff8020c2ba>] child_rip+0xa/0x20
       [<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff

-> #0 (ftrace_lock){+.+.+.}:
       [<ffffffff80261067>] __lock_acquire+0x101b/0x1668
       [<ffffffff802617a2>] lock_acquire+0xee/0x112
       [<ffffffff804fe0a6>] mutex_lock_nested+0x4f/0x305

       [<ffffffff8020b21b>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b
       [<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff

other info that might help us debug this:

1 lock held by modprobe/3184:
 #0:  (module_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff8026a539>] sys_init_module+0x3f/0x1d3
