Hi,
  Sometimes, when I call kmalloc() in Linux kernel,
the kernel always bring out a oops shown as following:


Debug: sleeping function called from invalid context
at mm/slab.c:1980
in_atomic():1, irqs_disabled():0
Call Trace: [<0211691d>]  [<02130a17>]  [<02189857>]

[<02116b21>]  [<118afb58>]  [<118afb5e>]  [<021041cd>]


  After I transform it with ksymoops, it looks like
this:


ksymoops 2.4.9 on i686 2.6.5-1.358custom.  Options
used
     -V (default)
     -K (specified)
     -L (specified)
     -o /lib/modules/2.6.5-1.358custom/ (default)
     -m /boot/System.map (specified)

No modules in ksyms, skipping objects

  Would you please tell me how to understand and solve
such a oops ?
  And, though the kernel brings out such a oops, it
can continue to work(i.e. it doesn't crash). Then, can
I simply ignore such a oops, and go on with my work?
if it is, how/where to trun off such a oops (i.e.
ignore this oops, and don't let the kernel send out
such a oops, thought there surely are something
wrong)?  

  Thank you very much.

Best Regards,
Park Lee
