[alsa-devel] [PATCH] sound: USB: line6: use dynamic buffers

Greg Kroah-Hartman gregkh at linuxfoundation.org
Sun Apr 28 18:04:11 CEST 2019


The line6 driver uses a lot of USB buffers off of the stack, which is
not allowed on many systems, causing the driver to crash on some of
them.  Fix this up by dynamically allocating the buffers with kmalloc()
which allows for proper DMA-able memory.
