@ -436,7 +436,12 @@ post_reset; the USB core guarantees that this is true of internal
suspend/resume events as well.
If a driver wants to block all suspend/resume calls during some
critical section, it can simply acquire udev->pm_mutex.
critical section, it can simply acquire udev->pm_mutex. Note that
calls to resume may be triggered indirectly. Block IO due to memory
allocations can make the vm subsystem resume a device. Thus while
holding this lock you must not allocate memory with GFP_KERNEL or
GFP_NOFS.
Alternatively, if the critical section might call some of the
usb_autopm_* routines, the driver can avoid deadlock by doing:
