(high-jacking the thread a bit... I don't have the patch that I want to reply to still in my mail box: the subject still matches...)
I just got a might-sleep warning in my own testing.

sched/wait: Add might_sleep() checks
In particular:
@@ -318,6 +320,7 @@ do {

#define wait_event_cmd(wq, condition, cmd1, cmd2) \
do { \
+ might_sleep(); \
if (condition) \
break; \
__wait_event_cmd(wq, condition, cmd1, cmd2); \
Where I call this in raid5_quiesce(), 'cmd1' releases a lock and enables
interrupts and cmd2 takes the lock and disables interrupts.
So it is perfectly OK to sleep at the point where schedule is called, but not
at the point where wait_event_cmd is called.
I can't use wait_event_lock_irq_cmd() as there are actually several spinlocks
I need to manipulate.
So I'm hoping that this part of the patch (at least) can be reverted.
Otherwise I guess I'll need to use __wait_event_cmd().
Thanks,
