We were experiencing occasional "BUG: scheduling while atomic" splats in our testing. Enabling DEBUG_SPINLOCK and DEBUG_LOCKDEP in the kernel exposed a lockdep in the enic driver. enic 0000:0b:00.0 eth2: Link UP ====================================================== [ INFO: SOFTIRQ-safe -> SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock order detected ] 3.12.0-rc1.x86_64-dbg+ #2 Tainted: GF W ------------------------------------------------------ NetworkManager/4209 [HC0[0]:SC0[2]:HE1:SE0] is trying to acquire: (&(&enic->devcmd_lock)->rlock){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffffa026b7e4>] enic_dev_packet_filter+0x44/0x90 [enic] The fix was to replace spin_lock with spin_lock_bh for the enic devcmd_lock, so that soft irqs would be disabled while the lock is held.
