[possible deadlock][3.1.0-g138c4ae] possible circular locking dependency detected

[Wanlong Gao <gaowanlong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks:

My dmesg said that:

======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
3.1.0-138c4ae #2
-------------------------------------------------------
hugemmap05/18198 is trying to acquire lock:
 (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<ffffffff8114d85c>] might_fault+0x5c/0xb0

but task is already holding lock:
 (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#21){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff811a10f6>] vfs_readdir+0x86/0xe0

which lock already depends on the new lock.


the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

other info that might help us debug this:

Wile hugemmap05 is a test case from LTP.
http://ltp.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=ltp/ltp.git;a=blob;f=testcases/kernel/mem/hugetlb/hugemmap/hugemmap05.c;h=50bb8ca23ae9686662740f9ea5d7187affff8b60;hb=HEAD

But I don't know how to reproduce this.


Thanks
