Subject: NFS: possible circular locking  i_mutex <> mmap_sem
Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2009 10:32:08 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090618023208.GA28572@localhost> (raw)

Hi,

I got a lockdep warning on a stress testing a nfsroot desktop.
The bits puzzled me is how come the page_fault() happens in
generic_file_buffered_write()?

Thanks,
Fengguang
