How can this be true? Thread context (AFA I can understand, must mean
Kernel thread context here) can sleep.

Oops ... sorry ... my mind and my fingers did not go well along with
each other.  Om is right. I think by thread context you mean process
context. And if you can call a function in only process context, then
most probably this is because it might sleep, which is only allowed in
this context.

Thanks,
