So looking over it, I'm not easily seeing what else could be off. So Lets see if we can cut some of the guess work out of this... > [] ? d_materialise_unique+0xbf/0x29e I'm curious exactly where that is in d_materialise_unique. To find out, can you find the vmlinux image in the base of the directory you built the kernel you triggered this in? Then run: # gdb ./vmlinux Once gdb loads: (gdb) list *0xc04e08e9 That should point to exactly where in the function we are trying to acquire a previously locked lock. thanks -john -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
