Yes.

Does not give an additional information for the "if yes" case.

It's on PowerPC (MPC5200) under Linux 2.6. I have not realized a similar 
problem with 2.4 on the same board. And it seems to be related with 
pthread_setschedparam(). And is nothing to do with RTCAN as the 
cyclictest() prints the same error message. There is obviously a problem 
with __xn_put_user -> __put_user -> put_user_nocheck:

#define __put_user_nocheck(x, ptr, size)                        \
({                                                              \
         long __pu_err;                                          \
         __typeof__(*(ptr)) __user *__pu_addr = (ptr);           \
         if (!is_kernel_addr((unsigned long)__pu_addr))          \
                 might_sleep();                                  \
         __chk_user_ptr(ptr);                                    \
         __put_user_size((x), __pu_addr, (size), __pu_err);      \
         __pu_err;                                               \
})
 

The "might_sleep" seems to make trouble, which showed up in recent 
versions of Linux on the PowerPC arch :-(.
