Subject: lockdep possible recursive lock in slab parent->list->rlock in rc2


Get this on a NFS root system while booting
This must be a recent change in the last week, 
I didn't see it in a post rc1 git* from last week
(I haven't done a exact bisect)

It's triggered by the r8169 driver close function, 
but looks more like a slab problem?

I haven't checked it in detail if the locks are 
really different or just lockdep not knowing 
enough classes.

=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
2.6.33-rc2 #19
---------------------------------------------
swapper/1 is trying to acquire lock:
 (&(&parent->list_lock)->rlock){-.-...}, at: [<ffffffff810cc93a>] cache_flusharray+0x55/0x10a

but task is already holding lock:
 (&(&parent->list_lock)->rlock){-.-...}, at: [<ffffffff810cc93a>] cache_flusharray+0x55/0x10a

other info that might help us debug this:
2 locks held by swapper/1:
 #0:  (rtnl_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff813e24d6>] rtnl_lock+0x12/0x14
 #1:  (&(&parent->list_lock)->rlock){-.-...}, at: [<ffffffff810cc93a>] cache_flusharray+0x55/0x10a
