Subject: [merged mm-hotfixes-stable] fat-avoid-stack-overflow-warning.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Thu, 09 Jul 2026 15:49:57 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260709224958.36EE81F00A3A@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The quilt patch titled
Subject: fat: avoid stack overflow warning
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
fat-avoid-stack-overflow-warning.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: fat: avoid stack overflow warning
Date: Fri, 15 May 2026 22:44:46 +0200
Building the fat kunit tests on with -fsanitize=alignment reveals some
rather excessive stack usage:
fs/fat/fat_test.c: In function 'fat_clus_to_blknr_test':
fs/fat/fat_test.c:33:1: error: the frame size of 4736 bytes is larger than 1536 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]
33 | }
| ^
fs/fat/fat_test.c: In function 'fat_get_blknr_offset_test':
fs/fat/fat_test.c:52:1: error: the frame size of 4800 bytes is larger than 1536 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]
The problem is clearly related to the on-stack copy of a local
msdos_sb_info structure. Avoid this by making that copy 'static const'
and changing the called functions to accept a constant input.
