3.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jussi Kivilinna <jussi.kivilinna@xxxxxxxx> commit bc6b89237acb3dee6af6e64e51a18255fef89cc2 upstream. rtlwifi allocates both setup_packet and data buffer of control message urb, using shared kmalloc in _usbctrl_vendorreq_async_write. Structure used for allocating is: struct { u8 data[254]; struct usb_ctrlrequest dr; }; Because 'struct usb_ctrlrequest' is __packed, setup packet is unaligned and DMA mapping of both 'data' and 'dr' confuses ARM/sunxi, leading to memory corruptions and freezes. Patch changes setup packet to be allocated separately. [v2]: - Use WARN_ON_ONCE instead of WARN_ON Signed-off-by: Jussi Kivilinna <jussi.kivilinna@xxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: John W.
