[PATCH] usb: dwc2: fix panic for coherent memory allocation

From: Leo Yan
Date: Thu Jan 05 2017 - 22:01:06 EST


When use configfs to configure USB port as as ethernet gadget, the
kernel has panic with below backtrace; it clearly indicates the
coherent memory allocation is happened in the interrupt context,
but the function __get_vm_area_node() is possible to be scheduling
out so function __get_vm_area_node() triggers panic if it's called
from interrupt context.

To fix this issue, simply to change gfp_flag from GFP_KERNEL to
GFP_NOWAIT so it can support to allocate coherent memory from
interrupt context.
