Ah - thanks for explaining that for me, Andrew.
Michal, there were several XFS fixes (4, I think) that went into -rc7. If
-rc6 fails and -rc7 doesn't then we need to check if one of those fixes is
responsible.
As I said before "I was wrong" (I use lockdep only with -mm kernels).
The crash doesn't match any of the symptoms we've seen from them,
but it's worth checking.

The problem with this bug is "bad interaction" between lockdep and
XFS. (I forgot about this probably because lockdep was broken for me
in 2.6.18-rc5-mm* - and previous bug appeared while mounting XFS, not
umounting).
2006-07-03 locdep was merged
2006-07-28 - 2006-08-10 a few XFS fixes
So I guess that binary search won't solve this mystery.
Cheers,
Dave.
