Subject: [PATCH] staging: iio: ad7816: avoid DMA from stack in spi_read
Date: Sun, 2 Aug 2026 14:38:40 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260802113840.17730-1-abdelnasserhussein11@gmail.com> (raw)
The SPI core may use DMA for transfers. Using a stack-allocated
buffer for DMA is unsafe and can trigger faults when VMAP_STACK is
enabled, since the stack is not guaranteed to be DMA-accessible.
Move the transfer buffer from the stack into the ad7816_chip_info
structure so it has a stable lifetime suitable for DMA transfers.
Mark the buffer with ____cacheline_aligned to ensure proper alignment
for DMA operations.
