Writing a file from an ISR doesn't sound like a good idea to me. I
suppose your problem is that your code blocks in vfs_write() or one of
the other calls that might block. I think you'd do better writing to a
(preallocated) buffer and write this buffer in a non-atomic context
where sleeping is allowed.
