When I offline a memory on linux-3.6-rc5, "possible circular locking dependency detected" messages are shown. Are the messages known problem?

When I offline a memory on linux-3.6-rc5, "possible circular locking dependency detected" messages are shown. Are the messages known problem?

It is a known problem, but it doesn't cause a deadlock. There is 3 locks: memory hotplug's lock, memory hotplug notifier's lock, and ksm_thread_mutex.

ksm_thread_mutex is locked when the memory is going offline and is unlocked when the memory is offlined or the offlining is cancelled. So we meet the warning messages. But it doesn't cause deadlock, because we lock mem_hotplug_mutex first.

Thanks

When I offline a memory on linux-3.6-rc5, "possible circular locking dependency detected" messages are shown. Are the messages known problem?

It is a known problem, but it doesn't cause a deadlock. There is 3 locks: memory hotplug's lock, memory hotplug notifier's lock, and ksm_thread_mutex.

Quoted 5 lines

ksm_thread_mutex is locked when the memory is going offline and is unlocked when the memory is offlined or the offlining is cancelled. So we meet the warning messages. But it doesn't cause deadlock, because we lock mem_hotplug_mutex first.

Thank you for your clarification.
I understand it. So I ignore the messages.

Thanks,
Yasuaki Ishimatsu
