SubjectRe: [PATCH] CDROM: use kmalloced buffers instead of buffers on stack
[Thomas Bogendoerfer - Sun, Mar 23, 2008 at 12:15:32PM +0100]
| If cdrom commands are issued to a scsi drive in most cases the buffer
| will be filled via dma. This leads to bad stack corruption on non coherent
| platforms, because the buffers are neither cache line aligned nor is
| the size a multiple of the cache line size. Using kmalloced buffers
| avoids this.

Hi Thomas,

maybe would be better to use one memory pool instead?
