Reported as a Kaffeine bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=375811 The USB control messages require DMA to work. We cannot pass a stack-allocated buffer, as it is not warranted that the stack would be into a DMA enabled area. On Kernel 4.9, the default is to not accept DMA on stack anymore on x86 architecture. On other architectures, this has been a requirement since Kernel 2.2. So, after this patch, this driver should likely work fine on all archs.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
