Can you try commit 6992f5334995af474c2b58d010d08bc597f0f2fe in the latest

Hmm, 2.6.33 -stable has commit 846f99749ab68bbc7f75c74fec305de675b1a1bf?

Actually, these 3 commits fixed it:

6992f5334995af474c2b58d010d08bc597f0f2fe sysfs: Use one lockdep class
per sysfs ttribute.
a2db6842873c8e5a70652f278d469128cb52db70 sysfs: Only take active
references on attributes.
e72ceb8ccac5f770b3e696e09bb673dca7024b20 sysfs: Remove sysfs_get/put_active_two

However, there are many other patches needed to amend these, so I think
it's not suitable for -stable to include, perhaps a revert of
846f99749ab68bbc7f75c74fec305de675b1a1bf is better.

Adding Greg into Cc.

Thanks.

Slightly at a loss as to what to do, now. It's a virt instance so I can
apply patches at will but, well, clarity is good. :)

Just ignore the lockdep warnings as they are bogus, or turn them off, or
use .34-rc7, as they are resolved there.

How about reverting that patch for 2.6.33 stable tree?

Thanks.

No, as that patch is not reverted in Linus's tree, right?  Just turn off
lockdep if this is bothering you.

thanks,
