Ah wait, but it does use mmap! Fio sets up a semaphore my mmap'ing a
file in /tmp (which is reiserfs). Here's a test case that triggers it
100% reliably, adjust /tmp to some other location that is reiserfs.
lockdep from that run attached.
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
char fname[] = "/tmp/some_file"; /* /tmp on reiserfs */
void *p;
int fd;
fd = open(fname, O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0644);
if (fd < 0) {
perror("open");
return 1;
}
if (ftruncate(fd, 64) < 0) {
perror("ftruncate");
return 1;
}
p = mmap(NULL, 64, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
if (p == MAP_FAILED) {
perror("mmap");
return 1;
}
unlink(fname);
close(fd);
munmap(p, 64);
return 0;
}

[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]

-------------------------------------------------------
reiser-mmap/9643 is trying to acquire lock:
(&inode->i_mutex){--..}, at: [<b038c625>] mutex_lock+0x1c/0x1f
but task is already holding lock:
(&mm->mmap_sem){----}, at: [<b015c6cf>] sys_munmap+0x26/0x42
which lock already depends on the new lock.
the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
