  Well, I take lockdep warning seriously. It's just that lockdep
establishes following lock dependencies:
1) transaction start -> lock_super
  - happens only during unlink, truncate, filesystem resize, sys_write
2) lock_super -> page reclaim
  - happens during mount / remount
3) page reclaim -> transaction start

  and reports a possible problem. But it follows from the above that
lock_super actually does not happen from the page reclaim path because
there we just start a transaction to write inode or allocate blocks to a
file. So I agree the locking is kind of convoluted but I see no real
problem there...

  Looks like a bug in the scsi stack... adding linux-scsi to CC.
