[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
-------------------------------------------------------
cat/2595 is trying to acquire lock:
 (&priv->mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<facfa598>] show_statistics+0x48/0x100 [iwlagn]

but task is already holding lock:
 (s_active){++++.+}, at: [<c0580ebd>] sysfs_get_active_two+0x1d/0x50

which lock already depends on the new lock.

the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
