From b85300173d027131ced9a654c506785f15cfdd6f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oliver Neukum Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2020 21:15:44 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] driver core: force NOIO allocations during unplug There is one overlooked situation under which a driver must not do IO to allocate memory. You cannot do that while disconnecting a device. A device being disconnected is no longer functional in most cases, yet IO may fail only when the handler runs.
