Subject: softirq oops from b44_poll

Hi all,

We've had two reports of a WARN_ON being spit out from kernel/softirq.c
that seem fairly related in symptoms.  Both seem to involved b44_poll
either during the middle of some disk I/O.  An example of the output is
here:

You can find the original bug reports in the URLs below.  This has happened
on two different machines, one 32-bit and another 64-bit.  I'm fairly sure
both reports are the same issue, but I haven't a clue what that issue might
be at the moment.

Thoughts?
