Hi,
fb_mmap() is called under mmap_sem and acquires fb_info->lock.
Since 3e680aae4e53ab "fb: convert lock/unlock_kernel() into local fb
mutex", fb_ioctl() takes fb_info->lock and does copy_to/from_user()
under it, which in turn might acquire mmap_sem.
Just noticed the trace and wanted to let you know.
