I don't see anything specific to uvcvideo anymore, but i do get the possible circular locking dependency below. -- Sander [ 96.257129] ====================================================== [ 96.257129] [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ] [ 96.257129] 3.4.0-rc5-20120506+ #4 Not tainted [ 96.257129] ------------------------------------------------------- [ 96.257129] motion/2289 is trying to acquire lock: [ 96.257129] (&dev->lock){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff8156c04c>] v4l2_mmap+0xbc/0xd0 [ 96.257129] [ 96.257129] but task is already holding lock: [ 96.257129] (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<ffffffff81113cca>] sys_mmap_pgoff+0x1ca/0x220 [ 96.257129] [ 96.257129] which lock already depends on the new lock.
