I'm getting this when I try to spin_unlock a recently acquired lock with
spin_lock. IRQs are still somewhat of a mystery to me, and cryptic lock
state symbols (IN-HARDIRQ-W, HARDIRQ-ON-W) are unintelligible to me.
Dec 7 15:52:20 dev2 kernel: =================================
Dec 7 15:52:20 dev2 kernel: [ INFO: inconsistent lock state ]
Dec 7 15:52:20 dev2 kernel: 2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64.debug #1
Dec 7 15:52:20 dev2 kernel: ---------------------------------
Dec 7 15:52:20 dev2 kernel: inconsistent {IN-HARDIRQ-W} ->
{HARDIRQ-ON-W} usage.
Looking at lockdep.c isn't giving me any help either. It's obfuscated
beyond my ability to grok by simply reading the code.
It seems like this portion should help me, but it doesn't....
Dec 7 15:52:20 dev2 kernel: {IN-HARDIRQ-W} state was registered at:

Then later it tells me that I'm holding 1 lock, which is the one that I
mentioned at the beginning that was just recently locked.
