Hi,
Doing some testing on CFQ, I ran into this 100% reproducible report:
=======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.21-rc7 #5
-------------------------------------------------------
fio/9741 is trying to acquire lock:
(&mm->mmap_sem){----}, at: [<b018cb34>] dio_get_page+0x54/0x161
but task is already holding lock:
(&inode->i_mutex){--..}, at: [<b038c6e5>] mutex_lock+0x1c/0x1f
which lock already depends on the new lock.
the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
-> #1 (&inode->i_mutex){--..}:
[<b013e3fb>] __lock_acquire+0xdee/0xf9c
[<b013e600>] lock_acquire+0x57/0x70

other info that might help us debug this:
1 lock held by fio/9741:

=======================
The test run was fio, the job file used is:
# fio job file snip below
[global]
bs=4k
buffered=0
ioengine=libaio
iodepth=4
thread
[readers]
numjobs=8
size=128m
rw=read
# fio job file snip above
Filesystem was ext3, default mkfs and mount options. Kernel was
2.6.21-rc7 as of this morning, with some CFQ patches applied.
