BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at /usr/local/src/linux-3.4-rc1/include/linux/freezer.h:46

[Lothar Waßmann]

Hi,

commit a0acae0e added a might_sleep() to try_to_freeze() in
include/linux/freezer.h.
This leads to the following BUG message each time a process is started
when compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=y

|BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at /usr/local/src/linux-3.4-rc1/include/linux/freezer.h:46

I don't have the slightest idea how this should be fixed.

This is on ARM, right?  In this old thread, there is a patch from
Russell which fixes it, but it seems to have not been applied:
