Description Garry T. Williams 2006-09-19 01:59:19 UTC
Description of problem:
After boot and starting KDE and kmail, dmesg shows this:

[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
2.6.17-1.3001.fc5 #1
---------------------------------------------
kio_pop3/2426 is trying to acquire lock:
 (slock-AF_INET6){-+..}, at: [<c05a0110>] sk_clone+0xb9/0x2c0

but task is already holding lock:
 (slock-AF_INET6){-+..}, at: [<f8bb896d>] tcp_v6_rcv+0x308/0x6c3 [ipv6]

other info that might help us debug this:
1 lock held by kio_pop3/2426:
 #0:  (slock-AF_INET6){-+..}, at: [<f8bb896d>] tcp_v6_rcv+0x308/0x6c3 [ipv6]

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot
2. start kde

Comment 2 Dave Jones 2006-10-04 23:41:02 UTC
queued for inclusion in the next FC5 update kernel.


Comment 3 Dave Jones 2006-10-16 17:23:42 UTC
A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5)
based upon a new upstream kernel release.

Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches
go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that
may address this problem.

This bug has been placed in NEEDINFO state.
Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, if this bug is
still in this state in two weeks time, it will be closed.

Should this bug still be relevant after this period, the reporter
can reopen the bug at any time. Any other users on the Cc: list
of this bug can request that the bug be reopened by adding a
comment to the bug.

In the last few updates, some users upgrading from FC4->FC5
have reported that installing a kernel update has left their
systems unbootable. If you have been affected by this problem
please check you only have one version of device-mapper & lvm2
installed.  See bug 207474 for further details.

If this bug is a problem preventing you from installing the
release this version is filed against, please see bug 169613.

If this bug has been fixed, but you are now experiencing a different
problem, please file a separate bug for the new problem.

Thank you.

Comment 4 Garry T. Williams 2006-10-16 23:58:19 UTC
After yum install 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5, dmesg trace is gone.

Comment 5 Dave Jones 2006-10-17 00:11:12 UTC
Partly because I disabled the lock validator :)
(It has pretty heavy runtime overhead).  But this did get fixed for real too.
