The xenbus_thread() operation (record #2) creates xs_response_mutex --> &u->msgbuffer_mutex. An XS_WATCH write to the xenbus file then results in a complain about the opposite lock order &u->msgbuffer_mutex --> xs_watch_rwsem. The dependency xs_watch_rwsem --> xs_response_mutex is spurious. Avoid it and the warning by changing the ordering in xs_suspend(), first acquire xs_response_mutex and then xs_watch_rwsem. Reverse also the unlocking order in xs_suspend_cancel() for consistency, but keep xs_resume() as is because it needs to have xs_watch_rwsem unlocked only after exiting xs suspend and re-adding all watches.
