Subjectoprofile? lockdep warning from 2.6.27-rc1-mm1
Date

Hello,

While I was testing my filesystem module on 2.6.27-rc1-mm1, I got this
message from oprofile. Is this a known problem, or did I miss something?
sync_buffer() is the one in drivers/oprofile/buffer_sync.c instead of
fs/buffer.c.

[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.27-rc1-mm1jrousD #1
-------------------------------------------------------
events/0/7 is trying to acquire lock:
(&mm->mmap_sem){----}, at: [<c02d6500>] sync_buffer+0xe7/0x3c9

but task is already holding lock:
(buffer_mutex){--..}, at: [<c02d6445>] sync_buffer+0x2c/0x3c9

which lock already depends on the new lock.


the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
