Takashi Sakamoto 493626f2d8 ALSA: bebob: use address returned by kmalloc() instead of kernel stack for streaming DMA mapping
When executing 'fw_run_transaction()' with 'TCODE_WRITE_BLOCK_REQUEST',
an address of 'payload' argument is used for streaming DMA mapping by
'firewire_ohci' module if 'size' argument is larger than 8 byte.
Although in this case the address should not be on kernel stack, current
implementation of ALSA bebob driver uses data in kernel stack for a cue
to boot M-Audio devices. This often brings unexpected result, especially
for a case of CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y.

This commit fixes the bug.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
