[PATCH net-next] netfilter: nf_tables: avoid excessive stack usage

From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Fri Sep 06 2019 - 11:13:00 EST


The nft_offload_ctx structure is much too large to put on the
stack:

net/netfilter/nf_tables_offload.c:31:23: error: stack frame size of 1200 bytes in function 'nft_flow_rule_create' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than=]

Use dynamic allocation here, as we do elsewhere in the same
function.

Fixes: c9626a2cbdb2 ("netfilter: nf_tables: add hardware offload support")

Since we only really care about two members of the structure, an
alternative would be a larger rewrite, but that is probably too
late for v5.4.
