From e75dc677ff8d06ffa61bef6fee436227ae5440c6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Gimpelevich Date: Wed, 21 Aug 2013 01:43:19 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] hso: Fix stack corruption on some architectures As Sergei Shtylyov explained in the #mipslinux IRC channel: [Mon 2013-08-19 12:28:21 PM PDT] guys, are you sure it's not "DMA off stack" case? [Mon 2013-08-19 12:28:35 PM PDT] it's a known stack corruptor on non-coherent arches [Mon 2013-08-19 12:31:48 PM PDT] headless: for usb/ehci? [Mon 2013-08-19 12:34:11 PM PDT] headless: explain [Mon 2013-08-19 12:35:38 PM PDT] usb_control_msg() (or other such func) should not use buffer on stack. DMA from/to stack is prohibited [Mon 2013-08-19 12:35:58 PM PDT] and EHCI uses DMA on control xfers (as well as all the others) Signed-off-by: Daniel Gimpelevich Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: David S.
