Tsirkin" , Andy Lutomirski Subject: [PATCH] virtio_console: Stop doing DMA on the stack Date: Tue, 30 Aug 2016 08:04:15 -0700 Message-Id: <0afe68f9b4be6c95af9e7672b07acd0274c26dfe.1472569320.git.luto@kernel.org> X-Mailer: git-send-email 2.7.4 Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org virtio_console uses a small DMA buffer for control requests. Move that buffer into heap memory. Doing virtio DMA on the stack is normally okay on non-DMA-API virtio systems (which is currently most of them), but it breaks completely if the stack is virtually mapped. Tested by typing both directions using picocom aimed at /dev/hvc0. Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski --- Hi all- This is currently broken in tip:x86/asm. If you (Amit) like this patch, would it make sense for Ingo to add it to -tip?
