Subject: lockdep: inconsistent {RECLAIM_FS-ON-W} -> {IN-RECLAIM_FS-R} usage.

Just got this on a 2.6.33-rc3 kernel during unmount:

I can't work out what the <mumble>RECLAIM_FS<mumble> notations are
supposed to mean from the code and they are not documented at
all, so I need someone to explain what this means before I can
determine if it is a valid warning or not....

Cheers,

Dave.
