Description Jeremy Fitzhardinge 2011-01-27 18:03:20 UTC
Description of problem:
When using s3ql (an Amazon AWS S3 filesystem which uses fuse), it warns with "BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/slub.c:1701"

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.35.10-77.fc14.x86_64

How reproducible:
Often

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Mount s3ql filesystem
2. Use as normal
3. Unmount
  
Actual results:
Works, but kernel warnings

Expected results:
Nothing from kernel

Additional info:
The same fuse filesystem running on 2.6.32.26-175.fc12.i686.PAE has no problems.

The full warning is:

Comment 1 Chuck Ebbert 2011-02-01 07:03:27 UTC
It appears to be here in fuse_notify_inval_entry():

          buf = kzalloc(FUSE_NAME_MAX + 1, GFP_KERNEL);

Called from fuse_dev_do_write():

        /*
         * Zero oh.unique indicates unsolicited notification message
         * and error contains notification code.
         */
        if (!oh.unique) {
                err = fuse_notify(fc, oh.error, nbytes - sizeof(oh), cs);
                return err ? err : nbytes;
        }

I can't see what is causing in_atomic() to be true there, though.

Does this still happen on the latest f14 or f15 kernel?

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 13:44:51 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
