From: Ben Hutchings <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== 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).
