[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]

-------------------------------------------------------
diotest1/2088 is trying to acquire lock:
 (&mm->mmap_sem){----}, at: [<c02778a2>] dio_get_page+0x4e/0x15d

but task is already holding lock:
 (jbd_handle){--..}, at: [<c029c7c6>] journal_start+0xcb/0xf8

which lock already depends on the new lock.


the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
