Hi Ingo,

I've come across the following problem during the debugging of IDE driver for
Philips PNX0105 ARM9 platform in RT mode (CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT).
When I mount/unmount a device, the following error is printed out to a terminal:
 
> # mount /dev/discs/disc0/part1 /mnt/
> BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context IRQ 27(655) at
> kernel/rt.c:1449in_atomic():0 [00000000], irqs_disabled():128
 
And gdb shows the following:
 
> (gdb) b kernel/sched.c:5430
> Breakpoint 1 at 0xc0034880: file kernel/sched.c, line 5430.
> (gdb) c

So, the problem is in the generic IDE code, namely, in ide_intr() taking 
ide_lock.

The suggested patch is the following:

                }
 
                if (hwif->io_ports[IDE_CONTROL_OFFSET])

Can you please comment on it?

Thanks,
