Subject: Re: Regression in 3.8-rc1: "BUG: sleeping function called from
invalid context"
Top-posting so that the rest can remain untouched.
Right, so AFAICT, something is holding rtnl_mutex (probably some
rtnetlink traffic) and device_rename() is doing kstrdup with
GFP_KERNEL which, among others, has __GFP_WAIT and *that* triggers the
might_sleep_if() check in slab_pre_alloc_hook():
static inline int slab_pre_alloc_hook(struct kmem_cache *s, gfp_t flags)
{
flags &= gfp_allowed_mask;
lockdep_trace_alloc(flags);
might_sleep_if(flags & __GFP_WAIT); <--- HERE
Adding Christoph and Pekka although the slub.c might_sleep stuff is from
2010. Still, they might have a better idea.
Oh well, let's add netdev while we're at it. :-)
HTH.
