3.6.11.5 stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Tomoya MORINAGA [ Upstream commit 5c1ef59168c485318e40ba485c1eba57d81d0faa ] pdc_desc_get() is called from pd_prep_slave_sg, and the function is called from interrupt context(e.g. Uart driver "pch_uart.c"). In fact, I saw kernel error message. So, GFP_ATOMIC must be used not GFP_NOIO.
