possible circular locking in reiserfs_removexattr

From: Laurent Riffard
Date: Fri Feb 22 2008 - 18:32:23 EST


Hello,

I've got this while running beagle. /home is mounted with the following options:

/dev/mapper/vglinux1-lvhome /home reiserfs rw,noatime,nodiratime,user_xattr 0 0

This still happens with latest kernel (next-20080222), I can't tell when it first appears.

2.6.25-rc1 #15
-------------------------------------------------------
beagled/3781 is trying to acquire lock:
(&REISERFS_I(inode)->xattr_sem){----}, at: [<e1ac02fa>] reiserfs_removexattr+0x42/0xbf [reiserfs]

but task is already holding lock:
(&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#8){--..}, at: [<c016f006>] vfs_removexattr+0x59/0xc2

which lock already depends on the new lock.


the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

=======================

step to reproduce:
- mount /home as reiserfs with user_xattr option.
- run "beagled --fg --debug --indexing-delay 5", and wait 10 seconds.
