Subject: Regression in 3.8-rc1:  "BUG: sleeping function called from invalid
 context"

With kernel 3.8-rc1, I get 2 "BUG: sleeping function called from invalid 
context" reports. These have been present got some time in the 3.7-git versions 
and I have tried twice to bisect the problem. Both times, I ended up at a merge 
commit. The most recent found commit a11da7d as the bad one, and commit d7460f4 
as the last good one. I have not had time to make a third try.

My system is x86_64 running on an HP laptop with a dual-core AMD CPU. My 
configuration file is attached.

The logged details are as follows:
