Description

I am testing out LTTng kernel modules 2.0.4 on a 3.3.8 kernel and I am seeing LOTs of "BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context" errors on the console. I have attached 2 files showing various stack traces leading to might_sleep(); one is while tracing all "tracepoints", the other is while tracing all "syscalls".

I have also attached my kernel config.

master branch:

commit 0658bdda04bf2b00a1a4a3fcb92bfd805d30fde9
Author: Mathieu Desnoyers <>
Date: Wed Aug 22 17:09:20 2012 -0400

Fix: statedump: disable vm maps enumeration
We need the tasklist lock to correctly dump these, which is unavailable
    to modules. Disable this feature for now.

Fix: ensure userspace accesses are done with _inatomic
Otherwise, triggers scheduling while atomic (might_sleep()) warnings,
    since we call those from a tracepoint probe (with preemption disabled).
