From: Daniel J Blueman on
When hot-plugging my SATA DVD drive into my laptop, I see a lockdep
warning [1]. On closer inspection, both flush_workqueue() and
worker_thread() do tricks with lockdep maps. False positive?

[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.31-rc9-290cd #1
-------------------------------------------------------
kacpi_hotplug/198 is trying to acquire lock:
(kacpid){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff81073a70>] flush_workqueue+0x0/0xf0
(workqueue.c:292)

but task is already holding lock:
(&dpc->work){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff81072a42>]
worker_thread+0x1f2/0x3c0 (bitops.h:101)
which lock already depends on the new lock.

the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

-> #1 (&dpc->work){+.+.+.}:
[<ffffffff8108eb19>] __lock_acquire+0xe29/0x1240
[<ffffffff8108f04e>] lock_acquire+0x11e/0x170

[<ffffffff81077456>] kthread+0xa6/0xc0
[<ffffffff8100d29a>] child_rip+0xa/0x20

[<ffffffff8100d29a>] child_rip+0xa/0x20
[<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff

other info that might help us debug this:

2 locks held by kacpi_hotplug/198:
