Subject: e1000e - BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context

I got this one while running plain 'ip link show' with linus's post
3.1.0-rc3 (CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=y, 82544 LOM with Intel DP55KG
motherboard):

[18628.524980] BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at /home/romieu/git/linux-2.6-ref/kernel/mutex.c:85
[18628.524987] in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 1204, name: irqbalance

[18628.525123]  [<ffffffff813f4ae2>] dev_seq_show+0x22/0x26

The path looks the same in linus's (9e79e3e9dd9672b37ac9412e9a926714306551fe)
and in davem's net-next (3857e3ee2209b7289c434103e366f765ec82a22d) branches:

e1000e_get_stats64
-> spin_lock(&adapter->stats64_lock);
   e1000e_update_stats
   -> e1000e_update_phy_stats
      -> e1000_acquire_swflag_ich8lan (through hw->phy.ops.acquire)
         -> mutex_lock(&swflag_mutex);

Can you fix it ?

(either turn stats64_lock into a mutex or remove it - and swflag_mutex as
well ? - and use the rtnl sem in your work tasks from a quick glance at
the code)

Thanks.
