Kernel 2.6.35.7 Oops caused by might_sleep() on ARMv7

Hi, All

I'm getting kernel run on OMAP4430 chip (ARMv7, dual core), and got an
unexpected Oops caused by might_sleep() function. While that happened,
I was performing system test which almost consumed all system memory.

Based on Oops log below, might_sleep() threw out an unexpected warning
in page fault exception triggered by short of memory while calling
system call (by SWI exception). This should be a normal scenario, but,
kernel doesn't seem to handle it fine. ?Any thoughts ?

Oops log:
