Subject: possible recursive locking detected at kmem_cache_free


Not sure if this has been reported elsewhere. I started seeing this with git
kernel from this morning on a system with RedHat EL5 base installation with
ext3 root file system. Attached is the config I am using.

Let me know if you need any more details. This seems to be at every boot. I
am trying the bisect right now.

Thanks,
Venki
