If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Robin Holt Jack Steiner identified a problem where XPC can cause a silent data corruption. On module load, the placement may cause the xpc_remote_copy_buffer to span two physical pages. DMA transfers are done to the start virtual address translated to physical. This patch changes the buffer from a statically allocated buffer to a kmalloc'd buffer. Dean Nelson reviewed this before posting. I have tested it in the configuration that was showing the memory corruption and verified it works. I also added a BUG_ON statement to help catch this if a similar situation is encountered.
