With kernel 2.4.19 I noticed that calls from module_init() may be done in interrupt context. I didn't have a problem here before 2.4.17. E.g. in module_init() I use pci_module_init() for my driver (I don't have HOTPLUG enabled), the when the .probe function is called and the card is detected I create a proc entry for this new found device, but most of the time create_proc_entry causes BUG(), because it is called from interrupt context. What and where is the reason for that ? Shall the pci_module function be interrupt-save, or all functions called from module_init() ?
