Subject: [PATCH 3/5] [media] au6610: get rid of on-stack dma buffer
Date: Sun, 20 Mar 2011 22:50:50 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1300657852-29318-4-git-send-email-florian@mickler.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1300657852-29318-1-git-send-email-florian@mickler.org>

usb_control_msg initiates (and waits for completion of) a dma transfer using
the supplied buffer. That buffer thus has to be seperately allocated on
the heap.

In lib/dma_debug.c the function check_for_stack even warns about it:
	WARNING: at lib/dma-debug.c:866 check_for_stack
