From: Omar Sandoval Date: Wed, 1 Feb 2017 08:02:27 +0000 (-0800) Subject: virtio-console: avoid DMA from stack X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fad5324503f33bf6547c7227de9de936e11f24a2;p=GitHub%2Fmt8127%2Fandroid_kernel_alcatel_ttab.git virtio-console: avoid DMA from stack commit c4baad50297d84bde1a7ad45e50c73adae4a2192 upstream. put_chars() stuffs the buffer it gets into an sg, but that buffer may be on the stack. This breaks with CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y (for me, it manifested as printks getting turned into NUL bytes). Signed-off-by: Omar Sandoval Signed-off-by: Michael S.
