Well definitelly I do not have a reliable test case to
deterministically trigger this INFO trace, but I think from the trace
it looks like  the acpi_os_wait_events_complete calls flush_workqueue
which again calls acpi_os_execute_hp_deferred which again tries to
invoke flush_workqueue - so is that correct ?

(__acpi_os_execute looks somewhat cryptic in selection what would be called)

This is the stack traceback cut from my first post:

 [<ffffffff81064df0>] ? flush_workqueue+0x0/0xc0
 [<ffffffff81261532>] ? acpi_os_execute_hp_deferred+0x0/0x43
 [<ffffffff81064e4f>] flush_workqueue+0x5f/0xc0
 [<ffffffff81064df0>] ? flush_workqueue+0x0/0xc0
 [<ffffffff81261524>] acpi_os_wait_events_complete+0x15/0x23
 [<ffffffff81261561>] acpi_os_execute_hp_deferred+0x2f/0x43
 [<ffffffff810651d4>] worker_thread+0x1e4/0x3f0

So it looks like this issue is releated to commit:
c02256be79a1a3557332ac51e653d574a2a7d2b5

Hopefully the author would be able to fix this ?
