[PATCH 03/16] [media] a800: get rid of on-stack dma buffers

From: Florian Mickler <hidden>
Date: 2011-03-15 08:54:02
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: media input infrastructure (v4l/dvb), the rest · Maintainers: Mauro Carvalho Chehab, Linus Torvalds

usb_control_msg initiates (and waits for completion of) a dma transfer using
the supplied buffer. That buffer thus has to be seperately allocated on
the heap.

In lib/dma_debug.c the function check_for_stack even warns about it:
	WARNING: at lib/dma-debug.c:866 check_for_stack

Note: This change is tested to compile only, as I don't have the hardware.
