From 4d769def244806562de1baa3acb39726131fbe6a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ming Lei Date: Fri, 22 Feb 2013 16:34:22 -0800 Subject: usb: forbid memory allocation with I/O during bus reset If one storage interface or usb network interface(iSCSI case) exists in current configuration, memory allocation with GFP_KERNEL during usb_device_reset() might trigger I/O transfer on the storage interface itself and cause deadlock because the 'us->dev_mutex' is held in .pre_reset() and the storage interface can't do I/O transfer when the reset is triggered by other interface, or the error handling can't be completed if the reset is triggered by the storage itself (error handling path).
