Andrew, that's the bad side effect I talked about earlier. Now the
warning doesn't report the right place, but just the error function
and it's unclear who causes it due to the unreliable backtrace.

Alexander,

Is this something that you didn't see in older kernels? If yes when did 
it start?

Can you please file a full report in http://bugzilla.kernel.org?

Thanks,
