I got this - I think it was this morning (somehow kernel logging was
disabled so I can't tell the exact time):

=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
---------------------------------------------
nfsd/1788 is trying to acquire lock:
(&inode->i_mutex){--..}, at: [<c02cc35c>] mutex_lock+0x8/0xa

but task is already holding lock:
(&inode->i_mutex){--..}, at: [<c02cc35c>] mutex_lock+0x8/0xa

other info that might help us debug this:
2 locks held by nfsd/1788:
#0: (hash_sem){----}, at: [<e0930d99>] exp_readlock+0x12/0x16 [nfsd]
#1: (&inode->i_mutex){--..}, at: [<c02cc35c>] mutex_lock+0x8/0xa

Also it doesn't seem to be related to smbfs AFAICS - I am not enough
into lock debugging to say if this is relevant, useful or just
noise...
