Hello,
 
I see in the source (linux ver 3.3) that wake_up_interruptible function doesn't 
sleep so I used in it an ISR but I'm getting 'BUG:scheduling while atomic' 
message. (I'm not sure it's coming from this) I'm looking for the exact cause 
but Is there any caveat when using wake_up_interruptible() in an ISR?  (I found 
some drivers use it in ISR, some use it in work_struct)
 
I also read in 
http://www.slideshare.net/rampalliraj/tasklet-vs-work-queues?from_action=save  
that tasklet is not allowed to sleep but work is. (because  tasklet is not in 
process context, but in bottom-half) I don't know if I have to move my 
wake_up_interruptible function to tasklet or work(queue) or even it matters to 
the current problem.
 
Any tip will be appreciated. 
Regards,
 
Chan
