Looks like a repeat of something I reported against -mmotm 2010-05-11, though a
WARNING rather than an outright crash - the traceback is pretty much identical.
I have *no* idea why -rc3-mmotm0701 doesn't whinge similarly.

I don't recall you reporting that, sorry.

The warning was added by

: commit 82f682514a5df89ffb3890627eebf0897b7a84ec
: Author: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley(a)suse.de>
: AuthorDate: Mon Jul 5 22:53:06 2010 +0200
: Commit: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw(a)sisk.pl>
: CommitDate: Mon Jul 19 02:00:34 2010 +0200
:
: pm_qos: Get rid of the allocation in pm_qos_add_request()


It's a pretty crappy warning too. Neither the warning nor the code
comments provide developers with any hint as to what they have done
wrong, nor what they must do to fix things. And the patch changelog
doesn't mention the new warnings *at all*.

So one must assume that the people who stuck this thing in the tree
have volunteered to fix e1000e. Let's cc 'em.

Sorry about that. Its my fault, but I thought I had stronger language
in the original warning text.

The warning is for pm_qos users that are attempting to change a request
that isn't even in the list of request. It was a silent failure in the
original code. The result of the silent fail is that the request is not
changed as assumed by the caller.

I'll put a 1000e patch together at the airport, but I wont be able to
test it until tuesday.

My laptop has the hardware, so I tested it - system does indeed boot
without whinging about this issue. Feel free to stick in a:

Thanks for the fast fix. :)

I'm going to add the patch to the suspend-2.6 tree. Any objections?
