Subject: NFS lockdep lock misordering mmap_sem<->i_mutex_key with
	2.6.32-git1


While booting 2.6.32-git1 on a NFS root box I got the following
lockdep warning early at boot. I haven't looked at details.

=======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
-------------------------------------------------------
udevinfo/2551 is trying to acquire lock:
 (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#5){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff8118e0d3>] nfs_revalidate_mapping+0x7c/0xc5

but task is already holding lock:
 (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<ffffffff8100fc83>] sys_mmap+0x76/0xc7

which lock already depends on the new lock.


the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

-> #1 (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}:
       [<ffffffff81071d0b>] __lock_acquire+0x1435/0x1774

       [<ffffffff8100ba6b>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b

other info that might help us debug this:

1 lock held by udevinfo/2551:
 #0:  (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<ffffffff8100fc83>] sys_mmap+0x76/0xc7
