I compiled the kernel with Ingo's CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING and got the

It was a problem - it has since been fixed in 2.6.23.
Patch is attached in case you're interested.

mount/1558 is trying to acquire lock:
 (&(&ip->i_lock)->mr_lock/1){--..}, at: [<ffffffff80312805>] xfs_ilock+0x63/0x8d

but task is already holding lock:
 (&(&ip->i_lock)->mr_lock){----}, at: [<ffffffff80312805>] xfs_ilock+0x63/0x8d

which lock already depends on the new lock.
