From e823407f7b11fa06ba8e7a2801eb9ed11268a7ec Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ming Lei Date: Fri, 22 Feb 2013 16:34:11 -0800 Subject: pm / runtime: introduce pm_runtime_set_memalloc_noio() Introduce the flag memalloc_noio in 'struct dev_pm_info' to help PM core to teach mm not allocating memory with GFP_KERNEL flag for avoiding probable deadlock. As explained in the comment, any GFP_KERNEL allocation inside runtime_resume() or runtime_suspend() on any one of device in the path from one block or network device to the root device in the device tree may cause deadlock, the introduced pm_runtime_set_memalloc_noio() sets or clears the flag on device in the path recursively.
