This warning completely fills up the dmesg in seconds (maybe less). It is caused by starting up the Areca RAID card http pass through proxy called archttp.

The warning was added in 2.6.24 with this commit: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=aa24886e379d2b641c5117e178b15ce1d5d366ba --- a/arch/x86/kernel/pci-dma_64.c +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/pci-dma_64.c @@ -167,6 +167,7 @@ EXPORT_SYMBOL(dma_alloc_coherent); void dma_free_coherent(struct device *dev, size_t size, void *vaddr, dma_addr_t bus) { + WARN_ON(irqs_disabled()); /* for portability */ dma_free_coherent() needs irqs enabled (sigh) On at least ARM (and I'm told MIPS too) dma_free_coherent() has a newish call context requirement: unlike its dma_alloc_coherent() sibling, it may not be called with IRQs disabled. (This was new behavior on ARM as of late 2005, caused by ARM SMP updates.) This little surprise can be annoyingly driver-visible. Since it looks like that restriction won't be removed, this patch changes the definition of the API to include that requirement. Also, to help catch nonportable drivers, it updates the x86 and swiotlb versions to include the relevant warnings. (I already observed that it trips on the bus_reset_tasklet of the new firewire_ohci driver.)
@Joshua If you have the time, it would help us if you can do the following: Assuming you have not modified the gentoo-sources-2.6.24 kernel config since you posted your dmesg output (if you have, we need a new one): install gdb cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.24-gentoo rm drivers/scsi/arcmsr/arcmsr_hba.o make CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y drivers/scsi/arcmsr/arcmsr_hba.o this will compile the driver in question with debug information, which we can then use in GDB: gdb drivers/scsi/arcmsr/arcmsr_hba.o then at the GDB promt: list *arcmsr_queue_command+0x368 and then post the output here.
Hi Kim, The only modification I've made to the sources is pulling down the latest forcedeth.c from netdev-2.6.

Created attachment 143585 [details, diff] patch Please apply this patch to 2.6.24 and see if the messages go away
I applied the patch to 2.6.24-r2 and the warnings are gone. I would very much like to see this patch go into the gentoo patch set and be submitted for 2.6.24.y inclusion. Thanks!
thanks for testing, queued it up
Fixed in genpatches-2.6.24-4 (gentoo-sources-2.6.24-r3), thanks for helping us out on this issue
