2.6.24-rc6: possible recursive locking detected

[Christian Kujau]

hi,

a few minutes after upgrading from -rc5 to -rc6 I got:

This is a single CPU machine, and the box was quite busy due to disk I/O 
(load 6-8). The machine continues to run and all is well now. Even the 
application mentioned above (FahCore_a0.exe) is running fine 
("Folding@Home", cpu bound). The binary is located on an jfs filesystem, 
which was also under heavy I/O. Can someone tell me why the backtrace 
shows so much net* stuff? There was not much net I/O...

Thanks,
Christian.
