hvc framework will never pass stack memory to the put_chars() function,Am I blind or missing something? hvc_console_print(...) { char c[N_OUTBUF] ... cons_ops[index]->put_chars(vtermnos[index], c, i); The same here: hvc_poll_put_char(..., char ch) { ... n = hp->ops->put_chars(hp->vtermno, &ch, 1); AFAICS both of them *pass* a pointer to stack variable.yes, I discussed the issue with Arnd before in below thread, you can get the history, thanks https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/7/27/494 <https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/7/27/494>So is this a v2? You should have noted that. And what changed from v1 too.
I think yes, I should mentioned it in this patch, sorry for that:(

So the calling of kmemdup() is unnecessary, remove it. Fixes: c4baad5029 ("virtio-console: avoid DMA from stack")This patch doesn't "Fix" -- it reverts the commit. You should've CCed the author too.yes, we discussed ther issue in above thread, which we CCed the author.I don't see any input from the author? Anyway, 1/2 does not even build, so you will send v3 with all the above fixed, hopefully.
yes, I will send v3 patch after I figured out a better solution based on Arnd's comments for the patch '1/2'. Do you have any other suggestion for the solution? thanks.
thanks,
