Sending URB control messages from stack was never supported. Yet, on x86, the stack was usually at a memory region that allows DMA transfer. So, several drivers got it wrong. On Kernel 4.9, if VMAP_STACK=y, none of those drivers will work, as the stack won't be on a DMA-able area anymore. So, fix the media drivers that requre it. It should noticed that the vast majority are at dvb-usb. Please notice that those patches are compile-tested only. So, I really appreciate if people with devices using those drivers could test and report if they don't break anything. I intend to send this PS.: I didn't verify any media driver inside staging. Version 2: - Added other USB drivers that are out of dvb-usb. After this series, all drivers will use kmalloc'ed buffers, although I won't doubt that some implementations may still have issues. - Be sure that, on all places where it is using a buffer allocated at the dvb-usb state structs, they'll be protected by some mutex. On some such cases, there was already a mutex at the DVB core. So, I didn't need to add a new one. Thanks to Antti that reminded me about such need.
