Subject: 3.0-rc+git OOPS losetup on cifs

hello,

Since a short while (I know it worked with 3.0-rc1) loopback-mounting an 
image on a samba server mounted with cifs oopses the kernel.

Szenario:
- Client system: Thinkpad T60, 32bit, Debian Unstable
- Server system: Lacie edmini NAS device, exporting 500GB disk with 
  samba, 450GB crypto image file on it
- mount -t cifs -o username=backups,uid=1000,gid=0,file_mode=0664,dir_mode=0775,rw //192.168.10.98/backups /mnt/real-backups
- losetup /dev/loop7 /mnt/real-backups/loop.img
- cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/loop7 cifsloop
- mount -t ext4 -o rw,noatime,delalloc,barrier=0 /dev/mapper/cifsloop /mnt/backups

This worked since ages, but since some time after 2.6.39 (last test 
with 3.0-rc5+git ba466c74d99b91b2) this throws a kernel oops at the 
"losetup" stage.

As there were no logs written, full screenshot of the oops here:

Hand-written extract:
