>Description:
Apparently, someone changed the gsc driver to allocate one big buffer
at device attach time, instead of allocating and freeing buffers as
necessary. But he or she forgot to remove the line that invalidated
the buffer when the device is closed. Therefore, after using the
device for the first time, the buffer was incorrectly invalidated and
that caused a page fault on the second, and subsequent uses.
>How-To-Repeat:
sgsc -r 400 -h 800
cat < /dev/gsc0p > /tmp/file
WARNING: that will make the system panic.
>Fix:
This simple patch fixes this:
