This problem was already discussed on the kernel and mm mailing list.
(see thread starting here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/6/408 )
Since this seems to be USB related now, of course it makes sense to
discuss this problem on the usb mailing list.

Sorry for my late response. Now I built a kernel 3.8.0 with usb_debug
enabled. See below for the syslog of device plug-in.

I added a debug message to
drivers/usb/host/ehci-sched.c:itd_urb_transaction() to log the
allocation flags, see log below. For me this looks like nothing is
allocated atomic here, so this function should not be the root cause of
the dma coherent pool exhaustion. Are there other allocation functions
which I could track?
