I have updated my "Linus" tree to the latest state as of Jan. 9, 2011. Uname -r
reports

2.6.37-Linus-03737-g0c21e3a-dirty

The logged messages are listed below.

I'm not sure about all the HC1[1]:SC0[0] etc stuff, but check out
Documentation/lockdep-design.txt for the basics.

In this case, someone took a lock with interrupts enabled (HARDIRQ-ON-W)
while someone else took it in a hard IRQ context (IN-HARDIRQ-W) where
they are normally disabled. The problem of course is:

cpu0:
spin_lock(&foo);
do some stuff protected by foo;

----> interrupt happens here
spin_lock(&foo); /* darn, deadlock! */
other stuff;
spin_unlock(&foo);
<----

spin_unlock(&foo);

Could be a missing _irqsave() if it's not, as Stanislaw suggested, a false
positive.

Oops,

you are right. Fixed the copy&paste error, so this one should compile.

I suspected the message meant mixed interrupts disabled/enabled, but thanks for
the confirmation.

I think this is a false positive, because for lockdep
local->rx_skb_queue->lock and local->skb_queue->lock
is the same lock (struct sk_buff_head->lock). Hence warn when we do
not spin_lock_irq in ieee80211_rx_handlers(), but take lock
from interrupt handler in ieee80211_tx_status_irqsafe()-> skb_queue_tail()

No, the patch did not help.

Is there a document that explains what the meaning of these semantics?

inconsistent {HARDIRQ-ON-W} -> {IN-HARDIRQ-W} usage.
kdostartupconfi/3502 [HC1[1]:SC0[0]:HE0:SE1] takes:
(&(&list->lock)->rlock#5){?.-...}, at: [<ffffffff812995c6>]
skb_queue_tail+0x26/0x60
{HARDIRQ-ON-W} state was registered at:
...

It appears that the problem is with rtlwifi, thus I need to sort it out. Google
has not been my friend in this case.

Thanks,

Larry

Did not compile. In ieee80211_release_reorder_frame at lines 552 and 554, rx is
not defined.
