Hi, I added an allocation GFP_KERNEL inside a sysctl handler and got the error BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 723, name: sysctl Is it obvious error and I should use GFP_ATOMIC? I guess yes, but it just happens since I switched to a 2.6.30 on ppc, and it did not happen on 2.6.30 x86. So I'm not sure if something is wrong on ppc, of if something changed recently in sysctl, or simply my code was wrong and the check has improved in memory system.
