3.16.42-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Ben Hutchings <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 2d6a0e9de03ee658a9adc3bfb2f0ca55dff1e478 upstream. Allocating USB buffers on the stack is not portable, and no longer works on x86_64 (with VMAP_STACK enabled as per default).
