What is the speed of your SPI bus?

And what are your preformance requirements?


The maximum frequency for the SPI bus is 26 MHz, WLAN driver is to work at true 10 Mbit/sec.

Then you should be fine with the copying data and memset stuff, based on
the workload the rest of the kernel does for other busses which have
this same requirement of DMAable buffers.

And I'm sure David will be glad to have you point out any places in his
code where it accidentally takes data off of the stack instead of
allocating it.
Hmm, I recall I've already posted some pieces of code with that stuff.
