You know what ?? You were right about it being trivial. Didnt take me to too long to find the line and saw what was going on. Initially I started reading on how to put the line in process context, but soon I realised its not something you want to spend your afternoon on :P (Currently I dont have too many afternoons for this) Anyway, thanks for the pointer. Actual problem came from rtnetlink.c file where it called rtmsg_ifinfo(). This in turn, called alloc_skb with GFP_KERNEL, rather an GFP_ATOMIC. I guess GFP_KERNEL is right, but what's the difference ? -- Daniel
