Subject: [PATCH] Revert "i2c: core: Allocate temp client on the stack in i2c_detect"
Date: Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:54:40 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250221205449.3838714-1-arnd@kernel.org> (raw)
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
struct i2c_client is way too large to be put on the kernel stack, and depending
on the kernel configuration, this can exceed the compile-time warning limit:
drivers/i2c/i2c-core-base.c:1420:12: error: stack frame size (1040) exceeds limit (1024) in 'i2c_do_add_adapter' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than]
1420 | static int i2c_do_add_adapter(struct i2c_driver *driver,
| ^
The current version is the result of a cleanup patch that does not appear
to be a requirement for anything else, so address the problem through a
simple revert.
Fixes: 735668f8e5c9 ("i2c: core: Allocate temp client on the stack in i2c_detect")
