Someone stepped on the mutex value and tickles the sanity check. With lockdep and debugging enabled the mutex gets quite a bit bigger, so it gets more likely to be hit by 'random' corruption. The locking in seq_read() seems rather straight forward. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
