[PATCH 11/21] NTB: correct stack usage warning in debugfs_read

From: Jon Mason
Date: Sat Jan 19 2013 - 04:04:24 EST


Correct gcc warning of using too much stack debugfs_read. This is done
by kmallocing the buffer instead of using the char array on stack.
Also, shrinking the buffer to something closer to what is currently
being used.
