From 412e9e7800360ec93b6ba319b30666f6bfc721bd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Reinette Chatre Date: Tue, 18 Dec 2007 22:01:02 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] ipw2200: prevent alloc of unspecified size on stack if log_len is larger than 4K then we are killing the stack. allocate on heap instead and limit size to what practically can be used (PAGE_SIZE) Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre Signed-off-by: John W.
