Subject: [PATCH v2] mtd: spi-nor: sfdp: reduce stack usage in spi_nor_parse_sfdp()
Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2026 13:31:52 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261015113209.975641-1-mwalle@kernel.org> (raw)
Two large spi_nor_flash_parameter structures on a function stack
are really too much, and this can exceed an otherwise reasonable
frame limit:
drivers/mtd/spi-nor/sfdp.c: In function 'spi_nor_parse_sfdp':
drivers/mtd/spi-nor/sfdp.c:1717:1: error: the frame size of 1600 bytes is larger than 1536 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]
Allocate both rollback copies on the heap and use structure copies
for type safety.
Suggested-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
Suggested-by: David Laight <david.laight.linux@gmail.com>
Fixes: d20029474a76 ("mtd: spi-nor: push the rollback mechanism into the sfdp module")
Signed-off-by: Michael Walle <mwalle@kernel.org>

v2:
- don't use the cleanup helpers to not mix them with gotos as
suggested by Miquel. I didn't carry your Rb over because there
is quite a bit more code change.
