Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] serial: 8250_platform: Reduce stack usage in serial8250_probe_platform()
Date: Thu, 7 Aug 2025 03:21:34 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250806215134.4921-3-abinashsinghlalotra@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250806215134.4921-1-abinashsinghlalotra@gmail.com>
The function serial8250_probe_platform() in 8250_platform.c triggered a
frame size warning:
drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_platform.c: In function ‘serial8250_probe_platform.isra’:
drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_platform.c:201:1: warning: the frame size of 1184 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
This patch reduces the stack usage by dynamically allocating the
`uart` structure using kzalloc(), rather than placing it on
the stack. This eliminates the overflow warning and improves kernel
robustness.
