[PATCH] watchdog: pcwd_usb: Use allocated buffer for usb_control_msg

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



usb_control_msg() must use a dma-capable buffer.

This fixes the following error reported by smatch:

drivers/watchdog/pcwd_usb.c:257 usb_pcwd_send_command() error: doing dma on the
stack (buf)
