Subject: "scheduling while atomic" ?

Hi LKML,
What does the message saying "scheduling while atomic" mean?
The kernel prints a stack backtrace after this message appears so I
suppose this is
not a good behaviour. I am finishing an open source driver, and I need
to do all of this
locking stuff, etc. and this really makes me wonder what I am doing wrong.
here is some part of a backtrace...

I enable a lock at the beginning of device attach routine
and I disable it at the end. Whats wrong with it?
regards
Mateusz
