4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Sameer Wadgaonkar <sameer.wadgaonkar@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 3c2bf0bd08123f3497bd3e84bd9088c937b0cb40 ] The root issue is that we are not allowed to have items on the stack being passed to "DMA" like operations. In this case we have a vmcall and an inline completion of scsi command. This patch fixes the issue by moving the variables on stack in do_scsi_nolinuxstat() to heap memory.
