Subject: [BUG] sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/sched.c

Hi,

I am trying to do file write operations in a thread (filewrite())
initiated from a jprobe (fs_vfs_write()) set on kernel function
(vfs_write()). Although the write operation succeed, I get this on my
log:

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/sched.c:3678

$ uname -a

I remember seeing something similar here on LKML, but am unable to
trace it right now. Any idea what's going wrong?

Thanks,
Sumit
