The skirmish dead lock debugging just detects inversion of lock order which is 
a potential dead lock.

What you sent looks like a dead lock, but to debug further we'd need logs or 
stack traces.

You can also try the latest fusion kernel module that should print the waiters 
on a skirmish, but it's obvious that pid 592 has taken the lock without 
releasing it. As the property is also "locked" it seems to be related to the 
graphics driver, though we did some fixes in that code area recently.

Actually, having both the property and skirmish locked at the same time does 
not make sense, so I am wondering if you have a modified gfxcard.c in use. 
Please send that one for us to check. Thanks!
