Instead, add a scratch buffer to struct r8152 which is allocated once at driver attach time and which you can use for the transfers. I think you only need an array of two u32's so something like: u32 transfer_buf[2]; ought to be sufficient. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
