Yes, there are real lock inversions now due to the GTT mmap code. It's going to be a pain to fix (I tried getting the mmap_sem -> struct_mutex path to go away, but the fact that mmap_sem is held over the fault handler pretty much kills that). It's high on the list, though. -- Eric Anholt [email protected] [email protected]
