    xhci: Use GFP_NOIO during device reset. · a6d940dd
    Sarah Sharp authored
    When xhci_discover_or_reset_device() is called after a host controller
    power loss, the virtual device may need to be reallocated.  Make sure
    xhci_alloc_dev() uses GFP_NOIO.  This avoid causing a deadlock by allowing
    the kernel to flush pending I/O while reallocating memory for a virtual
    device for a USB mass storage device that's holding the backing store for
    dirty memory buffers.
    
    This patch should be queued for the 2.6.37 stable tree.
