The data buffer allocated on the stack can't be DMA'ed, and hence can't send
through RDMA via SMB Direct.

This comment is confusing. Any registered memory can be DMA'd, need to
state the reason for the choice here more clearly.


Fix this by allocating the request on the heap in smb3_validate_negotiate.

Changes in v2:
Removed duplicated code on freeing buffers on function exit.
(Thanks to Parav Pandit <parav@xxxxxxxxxxxx>)
Fixed typo in the patch title.

Changes in v3:
Added "Fixes" to the patch.
Changed sizeof() to use *pointer in place of struct.

Fixes: ff1c038addc4 ("Check SMB3 dialects against downgrade attacks")

Why is this a nonblocking allocation? It would seem more robust to
use GFP_NOFS here.
