From 4307a28eb0128417d9a2b9d858d2bce70ee5b383 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrea Righi Date: Mon, 28 Jun 2010 16:56:45 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] USB: EHCI: fix NULL pointer dererence in HCDs that use HCD_LOCAL_MEM If we use the HCD_LOCAL_MEM flag and dma_declare_coherent_memory() to enforce the host controller's local memory utilization we also need to disable native scatter-gather support, otherwise hcd_alloc_coherent() in map_urb_for_dma() is called with urb->transfer_buffer == NULL, that triggers a NULL pointer dereference. We can also consider to add a WARN_ON() and return an error code to better catch this problem in the future. At the moment no driver seems to hit this bug, so I should consider this a low-priority fix.
