Hi, i've found some usb_buffer_alloc with GFP_KERNEL on in a probe function (kernel 2.5.70). Since "probe" isn't ever called in process context... is that correct?
You have that exactly backwards. probe() is _always_ called in process context, in fact in the context of the khubd kernel thread.
Or in the context of whatever calls usb_register() on a driver, such as modprobe.
