Subject: [PATCH v2] cxgb4: do not dma memory off of the stack
Date: Tue, 1 Oct 2019 18:56:11 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191001165611.GA3542072@kroah.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191001153917.GA3498459@kroah.com>
Nicolas pointed out that the cxgb4 driver is doing dma off of the stack,
which is generally considered a very bad thing. On some architectures
it could be a security problem, but odds are none of them actually run
this driver, so it's just a "normal" bug.
Resolve this by allocating the memory for a message off of the heap
instead of the stack. kmalloc() always will give us a proper memory
location that DMA will work correctly from.

v2: clean up memory on error case, pointed out by Nicolas
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20191001153917.GA3498459@kroah.com
Test-built only, I don't have this hardware to actually run this
code at all.
