Just spotted this in logs:

=======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
-------------------------------------------------------
imap/30033 is trying to acquire lock:
  (iprune_mutex){--..}, at: [<ffffffff80263f71>] mutex_lock+0x19/0x20

but task is already holding lock:
  (&dev->ev_mutex){--..}, at: [<ffffffff80263f71>] mutex_lock+0x19/0x20

which lock already depends on the new lock.


the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
