And that's the problem, you can't just compile test these things, the code will blow up if you make these changes :( All USB transfers need to come from memory that can be safely DMAed. Stack memory is not that type of memory, you HAVE to allocate it dynamically from the heap in order to have this guarantee. So no, this patch is not acceptable, sorry. You will see this pattern in all USB drivers, all data must be dynamically allocated, even for 2 byte commands. So yes, there was a reason we added this "complexity" to the driver, it is required :) sorry, greg k-h
