From acbe2febe71abb2360b008e9ab3ee5c44169f78c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oliver Neukum Date: Tue, 12 Jan 2010 12:32:50 +0100 Subject: USB: Don't use GFP_KERNEL while we cannot reset a storage device Memory allocations with GFP_KERNEL can cause IO to a storage device which can fail resulting in a need to reset the device. Therefore GFP_KERNEL cannot be safely used between usb_lock_device() and usb_unlock_device(). Replace by GFP_NOIO.
