[PATCH 4.14 13/53] watchdog: diag288_wdt: do not use stack buffers for hardware data

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Alexander Egorenkov <egorenar@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit fe8973a3ad0905cb9ba2d42db42ed51de14737df upstream.

With CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y the stack is allocated from the vmalloc space.
Data passed to a hardware or a hypervisor interface that
requires V=R can no longer be allocated on the stack.

Use kmalloc() to get memory for a diag288 command.
