Subject: nfs: LOCKDEP warning with 2.6.31-rc6
Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2009 12:18:06 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <s5hiqgipz4x.wl%tiwai@suse.de> (raw)

Hi,

my machine got a lockdep warning regarding NFS client on 2.6.31-rc6.
Here is the log:

=======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.31-rc6-test #12
-------------------------------------------------------
soffice.bin/31490 is trying to acquire lock:
 (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#13){+.+.+.}, at: [<f85ea8bb>] nfs_revalidate_mapping+0x72/0xbe [nfs]

but task is already holding lock:
 (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<c0106c5b>] sys_mmap2+0x6d/0xb4

which lock already depends on the new lock.


the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

-> #1 (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}:
       [<c0161b06>] __lock_acquire+0x100e/0x130d

       [<c0102df3>] sysenter_do_call+0x12/0x38
       [<ffffffff>] 0xffffffff

other info that might help us debug this:

=======================================================

Indeed this looks like a circular lock dependency since copy_*_user()
invokes mm->mmap_sem mutex lock internally.  (I hit a similar bug in
the ALSA core ago, thus I know it :)

The inode lock in vfs_readdir is killable, so it's not critical,
though...


thanks,

Takashi
