Mysterious lockdep warning from the SCSI workqueue code

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I've no idea why this is occurring:

WARNING: at kernel/lockdep.c:700 look_up_lock_class()
Pid: 2068, comm: scsi_wq_3 Not tainted 2.6.24-rc6 #38
 [<c010535a>] show_trace_log_lvl+0x1a/0x30
 [<c0105ce2>] show_trace+0x12/0x20

 [<c013ab32>] kthread+0x42/0x70
 [<c0104f47>] kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10
 =======================

it looks to be happening on the initial workqueue.c:run_workqueue()

	spin_lock_irq(&cwq->lock);

It's caused by lockdep.c:look_up_lock_class()

	WARN_ON_ONCE(class->name != lock->name);

but I'm not entirely sure what this actually means, not fully
understanding lockdep classes and how we acquire them in scsi.
