OK, I'm all confused.  Here we see a WARN_ON triggered, but in
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/1/4/352 with the same testcase we're seeing a
lockdep warning.

You refer to Arjan's "lockdep: annotate sb ->s_umount" patch - but
that's over two years old.

And you say "The changelog said s_umount needs to be classified as
per-sb, but actually it made it as per-filesystem." But what is the
difference between per-sb and per-fs?

More info here: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12673

This bug report seems to be all over the place.

Is it a post-2.6.28 regression, btw?
