[PATCH v3 4/6] net/core: apply pm_runtime_set_memalloc_noio on network devices

From: Ming Lei <hidden>
Date: 2012-10-29 12:25:59
Also in: linux-mm, linux-pm, lkml
Subsystem: networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

Deadlock might be caused by allocating memory with GFP_KERNEL in
runtime_resume callback of network devices in iSCSI situation, so
mark network devices and its ancestor as 'memalloc_noio_resume'
with the introduced pm_runtime_set_memalloc_noio().
