Hi,

In the USB core M_NOWAIT should be used, and NULL checks should be preserved. The NULL checks are active for embedded products (non-FreeBSD) where the malloc implementation does not support M_WAITOK.

So all M_WAITOK should be replaced with M_NOWAIT?

Where there are NULL checks M_NOWAIT is the correct option for malloc(). Else use M_WAITOK.
