Johannes: This is a known bogus warning. You can safely ignore it. David, Ingo: [ Ok, so we know that XFS wants to lock inodes in ascending inode number order and not strictly the parent-first-child-second order that rest of the fs/ code does, so that makes it difficult to teach lockdep about this kind of lock ordering ... ] However, this (bogus) warning still causes way too much noise on the lists (2-3 or more every week?) and most users wouldn't understand how or why this warning is bogus, so would get unnecessarily disturbed about it. Could there be a way to whitelist such "known bogus cases" in lockdep and stop it from complaining?
