Subject"scheduling while atomic" ?
Hi LKML,

What does the message saying "scheduling while atomic" mean?

The kernel prints a stack backtrace after this message appears so I
suppose this is
not a good behaviour. I am finishing an open source driver, and I need
to do all of this
locking stuff, etc. and this really makes me wonder what I am doing wrong.

here is some part of a backtrace...

[<c0364dce>] register_netdev+0x5e/0x90

I enable a lock at the beginning of device attach routine
and I disable it at the end. Whats wrong with it?
