Subject: usbnet: fix memory allocation in helpers
From: Oliver Neukum <oneukum@xxxxxxxx>
commit e65af5403e462ccd7dff6a045a886c64da598c2e upstream.
usbnet provides some helper functions that are also used in
the context of reset() operations. During a reset the other
drivers on a device are unable to operate. As that can be block
drivers, a driver for another interface cannot use paging
in its memory allocations without risking a deadlock.
Use GFP_NOIO in the helpers.
Fixes: 877bd862f32b8 ("usbnet: introduce usbnet 3 command helpers")
