So in debugging mysterious 'lockups' where I've, at least once, noticed a hangcheck_timer elapse, this lock-checking stuff is just nonsensical? It is very frustrating trying to turn on debug tools in the kernel and get so many false positives.
Would it be possible or, perhaps, desirable to eliminate the buggy lock-checks in the xfs code?
Meanwhile...back to finding reasons for the semi-random, periodic hanging... ;^/
