+ *
+ * The function should only be called by block device, or network
+ * device driver for solving the deadlock problem during runtime
+ * resume/suspend:
+ *
+ *     If memory allocation with GFP_KERNEL is called inside runtime
+ *     resume/suspend callback of any one of its ancestors(or the
+ *     block device itself), the deadlock may be triggered inside the
+ *     memory allocation since it might not complete until the block
+ *     device becomes active and the involed page I/O finishes. The
+ *     situation is pointed out first by Alan Stern. Network device
+ *     are involved in iSCSI kind of situation.
+ *
+ * The lock of dev_hotplug_mutex is held in the function for handling
+ * hotplug race because pm_runtime_set_memalloc_noio() may be called
+ * in async probe().
+ *
+ * The function should be called between device_add() and device_del()
+ * on the affected device(block/network device).
