4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Takashi Sakamoto <o-takashi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 493626f2d87a74e6dbea1686499ed6e7e600484e upstream. When executing 'fw_run_transaction()' with 'TCODE_WRITE_BLOCK_REQUEST', an address of 'payload' argument is used for streaming DMA mapping by 'firewire_ohci' module if 'size' argument is larger than 8 byte. Although in this case the address should not be on kernel stack, current implementation of ALSA bebob driver uses data in kernel stack for a cue to boot M-Audio devices. This often brings unexpected result, especially for a case of CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y. This commit fixes the bug.
