Subject: [PATCH net-next-2.6] ethtool: reduce stack usage
Date: Mon, 15 Feb 2010 15:24:00 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1266243840.8262.14.camel@edumazet-laptop> (raw)

dev_ethtool() is currently using 604 bytes of stack, even with gcc-4.4.2

objdump -d vmlinux | scripts/checkstack.pl
...
0xc04bbc33 dev_ethtool [vmlinux]:			604
...
Adding noinline attributes to selected functions can reduce stack usage.
