I knew about this problem, but I didn't realize that restore_sigcontext() can call a sleeping function after math_state_restore(). So I was going to fix this later, because we need a lot more cleanups in these paths.
But it turns out, it is trivial to trigger the "BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context" warning, see the test-case I sent to Dave.
To avoid the confusion, this has nothing to do with the problems we discuss in other threads, or with the recent changes in tip/x86/fpu.
The patch is horrible, yes. But simple, and math_state_restore/init_fpu are already horrible and need the cleanups. Hopefully I'll send them "soon".
Oleg.
