Hi,

I got this with 2.6.25-rc3 when doing an rm -rf on a HFS+ filesystem:


[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
2.6.25-rc3 #6
---------------------------------------------
rm/7564 is trying to acquire lock:
 (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#8){--..}, at: [<ffffffff880fc4ba>] hfsplus_block_free+0x57/0x209 [hfsplus]

but task is already holding lock:
 (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#8){--..}, at: [<ffffffff80284f1c>] vfs_unlink+0x41/0xb7

other info that might help us debug this:
2 locks held by rm/7564:
 #0:  (&type->i_mutex_dir_key#5/1){--..}, at: [<ffffffff80286cac>] do_unlinkat+0x6c/0x154
 #1:  (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#8){--..}, at: [<ffffffff80284f1c>] vfs_unlink+0x41/0xb7

stack backtrace:
Pid: 7564, comm: rm Not tainted 2.6.25-rc3 #6

Is this merely a case for annotation?
