A mirror of the official Linux kernel repository just in case

A second regression was found in the immediate data transfer (IDT)
support which was added to 5.2 kernel
IDT is used to transfer small amounts of data (up to 8 bytes) in the
field normally used for data dma address, thus avoiding dma mapping.
If the data was not already dma mapped, then IDT support assumed data was
in urb->transfer_buffer, and did not take into accound that even
small amounts of data (8 bytes) can be in a scatterlist instead.
This caused a NULL pointer dereference when sg_dma_len() was used
with non-dma mapped data.
Solve this by not using IDT if scatter gather buffer list is used.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
