Subject: libata: fix DMA to stack in reading devslp_timing parameters
From: David Woodhouse <[email protected]>
commit 8e725c7f8a60feaa88edacd4dee2c754d5ae7706 upstream.
Commit 803739d25c2343da6d2f95eebdcbc08bf67097d4 ("[libata] replace
sata_settings with devslp_timing"), which was also Cc: stable, used a
stack buffer to receive data from ata_read_log_page(), which triggers
the following warning:
ahci 0000:00:1f.2: DMA-API: device driver maps memory fromstack
[addr=ffff880140469948]
Fix this by using ap->sector_buf instead of a stack buffer.
