Hello,

Got this on sparc64 startup:

whoa. A sparc64 tester? Thanks!

=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
2.6.26-rc2-mm1 #2
---------------------------------------------
modprobe/514 is trying to acquire lock:
(&cls->mutex){--..}, at: [<00000000005ff538>] device_add+0x3c0/0x5c0
but task is already holding lock:
(&cls->mutex){--..}, at: [<000000000060287c>] class_interface_register+0x44/0xe0
other info that might help us debug this:
1 lock held by modprobe/514:
#0: (&cls->mutex){--..}, at: [<000000000060287c>] class_interface_register+0x44/0xe0

Yeah, this is a bug which has always been there, afaik. A semaphore was converted to a mutex. Semaphores don't have lockdep checking, but mutexes do, so we just now got to find out about it. Some finger-pointing is occurring over on the scsi list ;)
I assume the machine otherwise works OK?
