Some hvc backend may do dma in its opertions. eg, put_chars() of virtio-console. But in the code of hvc framework, it may pass DMA incapable memory to put_chars() under a specific configuration, which is explained in commit c4baad5029(virtio-console: avoid DMA from stack): 1, c[] is on stack, hvc_console_print(): char c[N_OUTBUF] __ALIGNED__; cons_ops[index]->put_chars(vtermnos[index], c, i); 2, ch is on stack, static void hvc_poll_put_char(,,char ch) { struct tty_struct *tty = driver->ttys[0]; struct hvc_struct *hp = tty->driver_data; int n; do { n = hp->ops->put_chars(hp->vtermno, &ch, 1); } while (n <= 0); } Commit c4baad5029 is just the fix to avoid DMA from stack memory, which is passed to virtio-console by hvc framework in above code. But I think the fix is aggressive, it directly uses kmemdup() to alloc new buffer from kmalloc area and do memcpy no matter the memory is in kmalloc area or not. But most importantly, it should better be fixed in the hvc framework, by changing it to never pass stack memory to the put_chars() function in the first place. Otherwise, we still face the smae issue if a new hvc backend using dma added in the furture. Considering lock competition of hp->outbuf and the complicated logic in hvc_console_print(), I didn’t use hp->outbuf, just allocate additional memory(length N_OUTBUF) and append it to hp->outbuf. For the issue in hvc_poll_put_char(), I use a static char to replace the char in stack. With the patch, we can remove the fix c4baad5029.
