Hi,

I see the same warning especially when resuming from a suspend (see
timestamps >=30-35sec) between Linux v3.5-rc1..v3.5-rc2.

$ sudo grep kvmclock.c /var/log/kern.log

"...The warning itself is not required for the check_and_clear
function and can be removed as far as I am concerned."

( The export macro was dropped in a followup commit. )

So you mean "WARN_ON(!in_atomic());" can be deleted?
