Subject: scheduling while atomic and DEBUG_SPINLOCK_SLEEP

Hello,

I am sometimes getting the following "scheduling while atomic" dump:

So, I think I need to try to figure out why the preempt_count is 2. I
enabled CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK_SLEEP thinking that it would give me more
information about this problem. I got two different hits with this
turned on.

The first dump is coming from Intel's ixp400eth driver:

And the other one is from one of our own kernel modules:

Out of these two, the first one that is showing "in_atomic():1" seems
more likely to me to be a potential cause of the "scheduling while
atomic" dump.

Does this logic seem reasonable? Are there other debugging techniques I
can use to narrow down the cause for the "scheduling while atomic"?

Thanks,

Jon
