Subject: staging: vt6656: use off stack for out buffer USB transfers.
X-Git-Tag: v4.10.17~82
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=808dc8810896bb8ea1298b4f1ab14100ab787ca3;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git

staging: vt6656: use off stack for out buffer USB transfers.

commit 12ecd24ef93277e4e5feaf27b0b18f2d3828bc5e upstream.

Since 4.9 mandated USB buffers be heap allocated this causes the driver
to fail.

Since there is a wide range of buffer sizes use kmemdup to create
allocated buffer.
