To clarify...
kernel/sched.c
void __might_sleep(...) {
if (.... & (system_state == SYSTEM_RUNNING)...)
printk(KERN_ERROR "BUG: sleeping in fuction called from invalid
context...
...
dump_stack
}
When we boot the system system_state == SYSTEM_BOOTING
allocations do not sleep, they succeed, and thus the sleep
check is disabled.
It is likely we should do the same thing, or an analogous thing,
on resume from suspend.
