in [Kernel]

Prev: [72/89] V4L/DVB: Video : pwc : Fix regression in pwc_set_shutter_speed caused by bad constant => sizeof conversion.
Next: [27/45] ext4: Avoid null pointer dereference when decoding EROFS w/o a journal
From: Greg KH on 30 Mar 2010 20:30 2.6.31-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Oliver Neukum <oliver(a)neukum.org> commit acbe2febe71abb2360b008e9ab3ee5c44169f78c upstream. Memory allocations with GFP_KERNEL can cause IO to a storage device which can fail resulting in a need to reset the device. Therefore GFP_KERNEL cannot be safely used between usb_lock_device() and usb_unlock_device(). Replace by GFP_NOIO.
