I have re-spun V2 patch, with the stack trace so that you can see the 
path taken.

For reference below is the trace:

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at 
kernel/locking/mutex.c:238
in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 1, pid: 89, name: kworker/u4:3

Its caused when a BUG hit in the kernel.
