Or lockdep?

It's hard to see what in XFS is causing this. You're reading a
single block directory, which means we're holding two inode locks
here, and then we've done a lookup on a radix tree under
rcu_read_lock(). Hence I can't see how we've overrun the lockdep
chain depth in the XFS code path. FWIW, it's thrown this warning
when calling rcu_read_unlock() here:

struct xfs_perag *
xfs_perag_get(
        struct xfs_mount        *mp,
        xfs_agnumber_t          agno)
{
        struct xfs_perag        *pag;
        int                     ref = 0;

        rcu_read_lock();
        pag = radix_tree_lookup(&mp->m_perag_tree, agno);
        if (pag) {
                ASSERT(atomic_read(&pag->pag_ref) >= 0);
                ref = atomic_inc_return(&pag->pag_ref);
        }
>>>>>>  rcu_read_unlock();
        trace_xfs_perag_get(mp, agno, ref, _RET_IP_);
        return pag;
}

So I'd be looking at RCU or lockdep at this point....

Cheers,

Dave.
