xhci: Use GFP_NOIO during device reset.
commit a6d940dd759bf240d28624198660ed34582a327b upstream. 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. Signed-off-by: Sarah Sharp <sarah.a.sharp@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
