[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.24-rc6 #1
-------------------------------------------------------
xfs_fsr/5694 is trying to acquire lock:
 (&mm->mmap_sem){----}, at: [<ffffffff802a9f8f>] dio_get_page+0x4b/0x184

but task is already holding lock:
 (&(&ip->i_iolock)->mr_lock){----}, at: [<ffffffff802f4c5f>] xfs_ilock+0x4d/0x8d

which lock already depends on the new lock.


the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
