So, it looks like the problem is that reiserfs_file_release() locks inode's mutex while mm's mmap_sem is locked? > which lock already depends on the new lock. > > > the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is: > > -> #1 (&mm->mmap_sem){----}: > [<b013e3fb>] __lock_acquire+0xdee/0xf9c > [<b013e600>] lock_acquire+0x57/0x70 > [<b0137b92>] down_read+0x3a/0x4c > [<b01b6b88>] reiserfs_remount+0x176/0x42a > [<b016ba21>] do_remount_sb+0xb9/0x10f > [<b017ebe7>] do_mount+0x1b6/0x616 > [<b017f0b6>] sys_mount+0x6f/0xa9 > [<b0103f04>] sysenter_past_esp+0x5d/0x99 > [<ffffffff>] 0xffffffff > > -> #0 (&inode->i_mutex){--..}: > [<b013e259>] __lock_acquire+0xc4c/0xf9c > [<b013e600>] lock_acquire+0x57/0x70 > [<b038c3e5>] __mutex_lock_slowpath+0x73/0x297 > [<b038c625>] mutex_lock+0x1c/0x1f > [<b01b17e9>] reiserfs_file_release+0x54/0x447 > [<b016afe7>] __fput+0x53/0x101 > [<b016b0ee>] fput+0x19/0x1c > [<b015bcd5>] remove_vma+0x3b/0x4d > [<b015c659>] do_munmap+0x17f/0x1cf > [<b015c6db>] sys_munmap+0x32/0x42 > [<b0103f04>] sysenter_past_esp+0x5d/0x99 > [<ffffffff>] 0xffffffff > > other info that might help us debug this: > > 1 lock held by reiser-mmap/9643: > #0: (&mm->mmap_sem){----}, at: [<b015c6cf>] sys_munmap+0x26/0x42 > > stack backtrace: > [<b0104f54>] show_trace_log_lvl+0x1a/0x30 > [<b0105626>] show_trace+0x12/0x14 > [<b01056ad>] dump_stack+0x16/0x18 > [<b013c48d>] print_circular_bug_tail+0x68/0x71 > [<b013e259>] __lock_acquire+0xc4c/0xf9c > [<b013e600>] lock_acquire+0x57/0x70 > [<b038c3e5>] __mutex_lock_slowpath+0x73/0x297 > [<b038c625>] mutex_lock+0x1c/0x1f > [<b01b17e9>] reiserfs_file_release+0x54/0x447 > [<b016afe7>] __fput+0x53/0x101 > [<b016b0ee>] fput+0x19/0x1c > [<b015bcd5>] remove_vma+0x3b/0x4d > [<b015c659>] do_munmap+0x17f/0x1cf > [<b015c6db>] sys_munmap+0x32/0x42 > [<b0103f04>] sysenter_past_esp+0x5d/0x99 > ======================= > - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
