BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context

[sandeep kumar]

Hi all,
I am working on android, linux kernel version: 2.6.35.11

I am getting this following error message. I know it occurs when u call a
sleeping function in atomic context.
As far as i knew the entire stack of functions,nothing is atomic
context(these are standard platform dev add functions...)

Now i want to know these things..
1) Is there any method to know, when and where this atomic context started?
           (i put a log in the "msm_bus_fabric_probe" function, to check
whether it is atomic or not using "in_atomic()"..it is giving '0', and also
i read that in_atomic wont always work well in all cases in the header file)

2) Can we neglect this warning, is it very important? because lot of similer
cases,(where "clk_get_sys" is called)
are working fine. only this thing is showing warning message. can we
overlook this?

pls tell me
