Subjectv2.6.26-rc7/cgroups: circular locking dependency
From
Hi,

I decided to see what cgroups is all about, and followed the instructions
in Documentation/cgroups.txt :-) It happened when I did this:

[root@damson /dev/cgroup/Vegard 0]
# echo 1 > cpuset.cpus

I can also provide the kernel config if necessary.

=======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.26-rc7 #25
-------------------------------------------------------
bash/10032 is trying to acquire lock:
(&cpu_hotplug.lock){--..}, at: [<c015efbc>] get_online_cpus+0x2c/0x40

but task is already holding lock:
(cgroup_mutex){--..}, at: [<c0160e6f>] cgroup_lock+0xf/0x20

which lock already depends on the new lock.


the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

-> #1 (cgroup_mutex){--..}:
[<c015a435>] __lock_acquire+0xf45/0x1040
[<c015a5c8>] lock_acquire+0x98/0xd0

other info that might help us debug this:

1 lock held by bash/10032:
#0: (cgroup_mutex){--..}, at: [<c0160e6f>] cgroup_lock+0xf/0x20
