other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  sb_writers#4 --> &of->mutex --> &ovl_i_mutex_dir_key[depth]

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&ovl_i_mutex_dir_key[depth]);
                               lock(&of->mutex);
                               lock(&ovl_i_mutex_dir_key[depth]);
  rlock(sb_writers#4);
