If I run this as root:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=tmpfile bs=1M count=10
# /sbin/losetup -f ./tmpfile
# echo "0 10000 linear /dev/loop0 0" | /sbin/dmsetup create test
# echo "0 10000 linear /dev/mapper/test 0" | /sbin/dmsetup create test2
I get the following warning from the lockdep validator.
Btw, is there a limit on how many dm devices can be chained? I guess
there will be a kernel stack overflow if you try to chain together too
many devices.

vol_id/2468 is trying to acquire lock:
(&md->io_lock){----}, at: [<e08475b6>] dm_request+0x23/0x158 [dm_mod]
but task is already holding lock:

other info that might help us debug this:
1 lock held by vol_id/2468:
