Hi,

this is debugging output you're seeing because your kernel is built 
with the WITNESS option.
(e.g. the default GENERIC kernel in -CURRENT)

lock order reversal is a very common message, you can ignore it.

Switch to GENERIC-NODEBUG to get rid of the messages and get a 
performance boost (these safety checks impact syscall performance)
