Description

When doing a rmmod off the batman-adv kernel module, the info about a possible circlular locking dependancy shows up (see below). Despite from that, the system is continuing to run normal, so no kernel freeze. Reproducable: always

kvm image: Linux mesh-node1 2.6.37 #3 SMP PREEMPT Mon Feb 7 07:53:08 GMT 2011 i686 GNU/Linux
(kernel has been compiled with extra kernel hacking debug stuff)
