 =======================================================
 [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
 2.6.39-rc3+ #3
 -------------------------------------------------------
 trinity/11299 is trying to acquire lock:
  (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#18){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff811ebfec>] hugetlbfs_file_mmap+0x7f/0x10d
 
 but task is already holding lock:
  (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<ffffffff81109097>] sys_mmap_pgoff+0xf8/0x16a
 
 which lock already depends on the new lock.
 
 
 the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

 other info that might help us debug this:
 
 1 lock held by trinity/11299:
