[PATCH] RDMA/mlx5: reduce stack usage in mlx5_ib_ufile_hw_cleanup
From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Tue Jun 10 2025 - 05:29:14 EST
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>
This function has an array of eight mlx5_async_cmd structures, which
often fits on the stack, but depending on the configuration can
end up blowing the stack frame warning limit:
drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/devx.c:2670:6: error: stack frame size (1392) exceeds limit (1280) in 'mlx5_ib_ufile_hw_cleanup' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than]
Change this to a dynamic allocation instead. While a kmalloc()
can theoretically fail, a GFP_KERNEL allocation under a page will
block until memory has been freed up, so in the worst case, this
only adds extra time in an already constrained environment.
Fixes: 7c891a4dbcc1 ("RDMA/mlx5: Add implementation for ufile_hw_cleanup device operation")
