I know xfs isn't really supported, but this is at least for reference. Also filed upstream, see URL.

I think these are false assertions, IIRC xfs needs to teach lockdep a bit about how it expects to work... I'll check w/ the sgi guys, I think they were working on this. -Eric
Still nothing upstream for this but it's a low priority, it is a false trip of the lockdep code.
*** Bug 228956 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
UPSTREAM may not be quite right, but its the closest resolution I can find. :) The sgi guys have recently committed a fix for this, and it should show up in 2.6.22, and make it into FC from there. http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2007-04/msg00177.html -Eric
