The kernel realised it was being made to sleep in an interrupt. If you remove the check it will crash anyway. If you did something like
if(..... as before ...) { flags&=~SLAB_LEVEL_MASK; flags|=SLAB_ATOMIC; printk(KERN_ERR "kmem: critical memory allocation level error.\n"); }
it ought to print a complaint and continue. Really however it wants fixing - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
