Description of problem: F7 test1 reports possible recursive locking and gives a stack traceback when trying to mount an xfs filesystem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.20-1.2930.fc7 i686 32-bit How reproducible: Mount an xfs filesystem. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create an xfs filesystem or find an existing one. 2. Mount it. 3. Observe /var/log/messages. Actual results: Complaint about possible recursive locking being detected, along with a stack traceback. Some filesystem operations appear to work afterwards, but I haven't trusted it enough to give it an extensive workout. (My xfs filesystems have live data that I don't want to lose.) Expected results: Normal mount and everything works with no complaints. Additional info: Stack traceback attached.
Created attachment 148171 [details] Stack traceback extracted from /var/log/messages.
This is confirmed still a problem in F7 test3 updated to 2.6.20-1.3045.fc7. It appears that the traceback does not occur until the first access to the filesystem. I can mount an xfs filesystem, and if it is not accessed, there is no traceback.
This is really just a lockdep annotation problem, shouldn't affect functionality. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 229520 ***
