Spun off last lockdep warning to bug 456320 and I think I have a fix for it. This morning, I got a new one (unrelated to keys API): ======================================================= [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]

[<ffffffff800602a6>] tracesys+0xd5/0xdf -- Additional comment from jlayton on 2008-07-23 07:50 EST -- I think the last lockdep warning means that we need to do something like this patch, but for CIFS: http://programming.kicks-ass.net/kernel-patches/lockdep/nfs-socket-lockdep.patch I've also seen some postings from LKML where people have hit the same warning with CIFS, so this looks like another upstream problem.
Created attachment 312481 [details] patch -- annotate CIFS sockets Patch for upstream CIFS. Annotate CIFS sockets to prevent these lockdep warnings.
Patch pushed upstream. I'll close this as a dupe of the 5.3 cifs update bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 453462 ***
