Remember this ? https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/4/15/272
Josh took a stab at fixing it in e096d0c7e2e4e5893792db865dd065ac73cf1f00,
but it seems to still be there.

[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
3.3.0-rc3+ #2 Not tainted
-------------------------------------------------------
trinity/30663 is trying to acquire lock:
 (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#18){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffff81298169>] hugetlbfs_file_mmap+0x89/0x140

but task is already holding lock:
 (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<ffffffff81182d97>] sys_mmap_pgoff+0x1d7/0x230

which lock already depends on the new lock.


the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

other info that might help us debug this:

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:
