4.11-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Malcolm Priestley <tvboxspy@xxxxxxxxx> commit baabd567f87be05330faa5140f72a91960e7405a upstream. The driver attempts to alter memory that is mapped to PCI device. This is because tx_fwinfo_8190pci points to skb->data Move the pci_map_single to when completed buffer is ready to be mapped with psdec is empty to drop on mapping error.
