Hi, Luis It is very great that this issue is fixed in your driver. But it seems that there exist so many similar issues on kerneloops. >BUG: scheduling while atomic: swapper/0/0x10000100 >Call Trace: [<ffffffff812d2efa>] ? acpi_idle_enter_bm+0x284/0x2bf [<ffffffff813f931b>] ? cpuidle_idle_call+0x9b/0xf0 [<ffffffff81010e12>] ? cpu_idle+0xb2/0x100 >BUG: scheduling while atomic: swapper/0/0x10010000 >Call Trace: [<ffffffff812d2efa>] ? acpi_idle_enter_bm+0x284/0x2bf [<ffffffff813f931b>] ? cpuidle_idle_call+0x9b/0xf0 [<ffffffff81010e12>] ? cpu_idle+0xb2/0x100 [<ffffffff8151de43>] ? start_secondary+0xa9/0xab From the above log it seems that the preempt_count is 0x10010000, which means that this happens in softirq. After the cpu is waked up from C-state, the interrupt is enabled. Then it can handle the interrupt ISR and soft IRQ if the interrupt is triggered. Is the above issue caused by that the might_sleep is called in the ISR/softIRQ? Hi, Luis Can you describe how you fix this issue in your driver? It will be great if you can give us some example codes that can trigger this issue.
