This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled [media] cxusb: Use a dma capable buffer also for reading to the 4.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: cxusb-use-a-dma-capable-buffer-also-for-reading.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 3f190e3aec212fc8c61e202c51400afa7384d4bc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Stefan=20Br=C3=BCns?= <stefan.bruens@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 5 Feb 2017 12:57:59 -0200 Subject: [media] cxusb: Use a dma capable buffer also for reading MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit From: Stefan Brüns <stefan.bruens@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 3f190e3aec212fc8c61e202c51400afa7384d4bc upstream. Commit 17ce039b4e54 ("[media] cxusb: don't do DMA on stack") added a kmalloc'ed bounce buffer for writes, but missed to do the same for reads. As the read only happens after the write is finished, we can reuse the same buffer. As dvb_usb_generic_rw handles a read length of 0 by itself, avoid calling it using the dvb_usb_generic_read wrapper function.
