Hi,
I'm getting the following lockdep warning on my test machine (running
reasonably recent kernel from -git):
=======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.24-rc3-g406f602d-dirty #28
-------------------------------------------------------
quota_nld/3253 is trying to acquire lock:
(genl_mutex){--..}, at: [<c02ee382>] ctrl_dumpfamily+0x37/0xea
but task is already holding lock:
(nlk->cb_mutex){--..}, at: [<c02ead8d>] netlink_dump+0x3a/0x16f
which lock already depends on the new lock.
the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
-> #1 (nlk->cb_mutex){--..}:
[<c0130eff>] __lock_acquire+0xa12/0xbd9
[<c01314a9>] lock_acquire+0x5f/0x78

[<c01026be>] sysenter_past_esp+0x5f/0xa5
[<ffffffff>] 0xffffffff
other info that might help us debug this:
1 lock held by quota_nld/3253:
#0: (nlk->cb_mutex){--..}, at: [<c02ead8d>] netlink_dump+0x3a/0x16f
