[PATCH 00/26] Don't use stack for DMA transers on dvb-usb drivers

From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab
Date: Fri Oct 07 2016 - 13:29:05 EST


Sending URB control messages from stack was never supported. Yet, on x86,
the stack was usually at a memory region that allows DMA transfer.

So, several drivers got it wrong. On Kernel 4.9, if VMAP_STACK=y, none of
those drivers will work, as the stack won't be on a DMA-able area anymore.

So, fix the dvb-usb drivers that requre it.

Please notice that, while all those patches compile, I don't have devices
using those drivers to test. So, I really appreciate if people with devices
using those drivers could test and report if they don't break anything.

Thanks!
Mauro
