The below idea may help the problem which 'memalloc_noio' flag isn't set during usb_reset_device(). - for usb mass storage device, call pm_runtime_set_memalloc_noio(true) inside usb_stor_probe2() and uas_probe(), and call pm_runtime_set_memalloc_noio(false) inside uas_disconnect() and usb_stor_disconnect(). - for usb network device, register_netdev() is always called inside usb interface's probe(), looks no such problem.
