reiserfs: circular locking dependency detected

From: Christian Kujau
Date: Thu Dec 24 2009 - 06:26:22 EST



I've seen the lockdep warning reported in
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/12/22/365, but this one is slightly different
and is not happening on mount but when dbench is run on a freshly created
filesystem. Below is the lockdep warning, I've put sysrq-D/W/P/T output on

http://nerdbynature.de/bits/2.6.33-rc1/reiserfs/

- t2 is with lockdep enabled
- proc-fs-reiserfs.log is me trying to cat /proc/fs/reiserfs every
2 seconds while dbench is running

Thanks,
Christian.
