Could you try this commit from -tip: d80c19d: lockdep: increase MAX_LOCKDEP_ENTRIES and MAX_LOCKDEP_CHAINS (which i'll get to Linus in the next ~24 hours.) Maybe that allows lockdep to report the reason for the deadlock. > Bug-Entry : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13321 > Subject : kernel crash with NULL pointer when boot > Submitter : Martin Bammer <mrb74@xxxxxx> > Date : 2009-05-16 12:37 (1 days old) > References : http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/5/16/100 that crash is in reiserfs_for_each_xattr(), during sys_unlink()'s xattr teardown. There's been a good deal of reiserfs changes in this cycle - some touch the xattr code as well. Some of them fairly late in the cycle, in the last two weeks: earth4:~/tip> gll v2.6.29..linus --since=two-weeks-ago fs/reiserfs/ 2a32ceb: Fix races around the access to ->s_options 677c9b2: reiserfs: remove privroot hiding in lookup b82bb72: reiserfs: dont associate security.* with xattr files ab17c4f: reiserfs: fixup xattr_root caching edcc37a: Always lookup priv_root on reiserfs mount and keep it 5a6059c: reiserfs: Expand i_mutex to enclose lookup_one_len Martin, you could try a blind revert of say ... ab17c4f, which looks the most suspect and which is also a rather large commit. Or/and you could try a bisect - perhaps accelerated via: git bisect start fs/reiserfs/ > Bug-Entry : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13297 > Subject : kernel panic - not syncing : fatel exception in interupt > Submitter : rob <rob1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Date : 2009-05-12 19:34 (5 days old) > References : http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=124216126903309&w=4 tainted crash, but probably legit.
