From 8c5af16f7953edb709d2f93ce69ea9da7dbfab40 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnd Bergmann Date: Wed, 17 Feb 2016 09:32:58 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] staging: rtl8712: reduce stack usage The "translate_scan" function in rtl8712 uses a lot of stack, and gets inlined into its single caller, r8711_wx_get_scan, which in some configurations now blows the 1024 byte stack warning limit: drivers/staging/rtl8712/rtl871x_ioctl_linux.c: In function 'r8711_wx_get_scan': drivers/staging/rtl8712/rtl871x_ioctl_linux.c:1227:1: error: the frame size of 1032 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=] This somewhat reduces the stack usage by moving the translate_scan function out of line with the noinline_for_stack annotation. It might be possible to modify translate_scan() a little further to reduce the stack usage, but with this patch, we can build without the warning, the the call chain to get here is rather predictable (sys_ioctl->vfs_ioctl->sock_ioctl->dev_ioctl->wext_ioctl-> r8711_wx_get_scan).
