Subject: [BUG] Sleeping function called from invalid context (2.6.18.6)
Date: Sat, 20 Jan 2007 23:06:57 +0000 (GMT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <957323.87386.qm@web52909.mail.yahoo.com> (raw)
Hi,
I have been testing my wireless zd1211rw driver with kismet, but have noticed my logs filling up
with these messages instead:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/mutex.c:86
in_atomic():0, irqs_disabled():1

According to the comment in linux/net/core/dev.c
* 2) Since we run with the RTNL semaphore not held, we can sleep
* safely in order to wait for the netdev refcnt to drop to zero.
Well, apparently we can't sleep safely after all because IRQs have been disabled.
Cheers,
Chris
