Hi, This patch set introduces one process flag and trys to fix one deadlock problem on block device during runtime resume or usb bus reset. The 1st one is the change on include/sched.h and mm. The other 2 patches are applied again PM and USB subsystem to demo how to use the introduced mechanism to fix the deadlock problem. V1: - take Minchan's change to avoid the check in alloc_page hot path - change the helpers' style into save/restore as suggested by Alan - memory allocation with no io in usb bus reset path for all devices as suggested by Greg and Oliver drivers/base/power/runtime.c | 14 ++++++++++++++ drivers/usb/core/hub.c | 11 +++++++++++ include/linux/sched.h | 11 +++++++++++ mm/page_alloc.c | 10 +++++++++- mm/vmscan.c | 13 +++++++++++++ 5 files changed, 58 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) Thanks, -- Ming Lei -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
