[PATCHv4 net-next 1/1] net/mlx5: Fix build -Wframe-larger-than warnings

[PATCHv4 net-next 1/1] net/mlx5: Fix build -Wframe-larger-than warnings

[Zhu Yanjun]

When building, the following warnings will appear.
"
pci_irq.c: In function ‘mlx5_ctrl_irq_request’:
pci_irq.c:494:1: warning: the frame size of 1040 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

pci_irq.c: In function ‘mlx5_irq_request_vector’:
pci_irq.c:561:1: warning: the frame size of 1040 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

eq.c: In function ‘comp_irq_request_sf’:
eq.c:897:1: warning: the frame size of 1080 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

irq_affinity.c: In function ‘irq_pool_request_irq’:
irq_affinity.c:74:1: warning: the frame size of 1048 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
"

These warnings indicate that the stack frame size exceeds 1024 bytes in
these functions.

To resolve this, instead of allocating large memory buffers on the stack,
it is better to use kvzalloc to allocate memory dynamically on the heap.
This approach reduces stack usage and eliminates these frame size warnings.

v3 -> v4: Relocate the kvzalloc call to a more appropriate place following Tariq's advice.
v2 -> v3: No changes, just send out target net-next;
v1 -> v2: Add kvfree to error handler;

1. This commit only build tests;
2. All the changes are on configuration path, will not make difference
on the performance;
3. This commit is just to fix build warnings, not error or bug fixes. So
not Fixes tag.

[PATCHv4 net-next 1/1] net/mlx5: Fix build -Wframe-larger-than warnings

[Zhu Yanjun]

When building, the following warnings will appear.
"
pci_irq.c: In function ‘mlx5_ctrl_irq_request’:
pci_irq.c:494:1: warning: the frame size of 1040 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

pci_irq.c: In function ‘mlx5_irq_request_vector’:
pci_irq.c:561:1: warning: the frame size of 1040 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

eq.c: In function ‘comp_irq_request_sf’:
eq.c:897:1: warning: the frame size of 1080 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

irq_affinity.c: In function ‘irq_pool_request_irq’:
irq_affinity.c:74:1: warning: the frame size of 1048 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
"

These warnings indicate that the stack frame size exceeds 1024 bytes in
these functions.

To resolve this, instead of allocating large memory buffers on the stack,
it is better to use kvzalloc to allocate memory dynamically on the heap.
This approach reduces stack usage and eliminates these frame size warnings.

v3 -> v4: Relocate the kvzalloc call to a more appropriate place following Tariq's advice.
v2 -> v3: No changes, just send out target net-next;
v1 -> v2: Add kvfree to error handler;

1. This commit only build tests;
2. All the changes are on configuration path, will not make difference
on the performance;
3. This commit is just to fix build warnings, not error or bug fixes. So
not Fixes tag.
