Hi,
I've been seeing these lately, Xorg version is 1.9.0 with latest git kernel.
=======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.37-rc1-uwe1+ #4
-------------------------------------------------------
Xorg/1401 is trying to acquire lock:
(&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<c01e4ddb>] might_fault+0x4b/0xa0
but task is already holding lock:
(&dev->struct_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<f869c3ac>] i915_mutex_lock_interruptible+0x3c/0x60 [i915]
which lock already depends on the new lock.
the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
-> #1 (&dev->struct_mutex){+.+.+.}:
[<c01738ec>] lock_acquire+0x7c/0x120
[<c04d3560>] mutex_lock_nested+0x60/0x330

[<c0217457>] sys_ioctl+0x67/0x80
[<c0102f97>] sysenter_do_call+0x12/0x36
other info that might help us debug this:
1 lock held by Xorg/1401:
#0: (&dev->struct_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<f869c3ac>] i915_mutex_lock_interruptible+0x3c/0x60 [i915]
