Subject: circular locking dependency detected
Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2007 13:04:46 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071130073446.GA7864@skywalker> (raw)
=======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.24-rc3 #6
-------------------------------------------------------
bash/2294 is trying to acquire lock:
(&journal->j_list_lock){--..}, at: [<c01eee2f>] journal_try_to_free_buffers+0x76/0x10c
but task is already holding lock:
(inode_lock){--..}, at: [<c01864b6>] drop_pagecache+0x48/0xd8
which lock already depends on the new lock.
the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
-> #1 (inode_lock){--..}:
