[PATCH 1/1] xen/gntdev: kmalloc structure gntdev_copy_batch

From: Heinrich Schuchardt
Date: Sat May 07 2016 - 04:18:09 EST


Commit a4cdb556cae0 ("xen/gntdev: add ioctl for grant copy")
leads to a warning
xen/gntdev.c: In function âgntdev_ioctl_grant_copyâ:
xen/gntdev.c:949:1: warning: the frame size of 1248 bytes
is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

This can be avoided by using kmalloc instead of the stack.

Testing requires CONFIG_XEN_GNTDEV.

Fixes: a4cdb556cae0 ("xen/gntdev: add ioctl for grant copy")
