Re: 2.6.17-mm3 -- BUG: trying to register non-static key!

[Miles Lane]

After rebuilding with your patch, the stack trace shows up,
but now there is a warning of a possible circular locking dependency:

[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
-------------------------------------------------------
S13gdm/2088 is trying to acquire lock:
(&dev->queue_lock){-+..}, at: [<c11a1fbc>] dev_queue_xmit+0x120/0x248

but task is already holding lock:
(&dev->_xmit_lock){-+..}, at: [<c11a201f>] dev_queue_xmit+0x183/0x248

which lock already depends on the new lock.


the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

      [<c102cbca>] lock_acquire+0x60/0x80

other info that might help us debug this:
