[PATCH v3 3/6] block/genhd.c: apply pm_runtime_set_memalloc_noio on block devices

From: Ming Lei <hidden>
Date: 2012-10-29 12:25:39
Also in: linux-mm, linux-pm, lkml
Subsystem: block layer, the rest · Maintainers: Jens Axboe, Linus Torvalds

This patch applyes the introduced pm_runtime_set_memalloc_noio on
block device so that PM core will teach mm to not allocate memory with
GFP_IOFS when calling the runtime_resume callback for block devices.
