dma: dw-edma: Fix build warning in dw_edma_pcie_probe()

[PATCH RFC] dma: dw-edma: Fix build warning in dw_edma_pcie_probe()

Posted by Abinash Singh 7 months, 1 week ago

The function dw_edma_pcie_probe() in dw-edma-pcie.c triggered a
frame size warning:
ld.lld:warning:
  drivers/dma/dw-edma/dw-edma-pcie.c:162:0: stack frame size (1040) exceeds limit (1024) in function 'dw_edma_pcie_probe'

This patch reduces the stack usage by dynamically allocating the
`vsec_data` structure using kmalloc(), rather than placing it on
the stack. This eliminates the overflow warning and improves kernel
robustness.

Signed-off-by: Abinash Singh <abinashsinghlalotra@gmail.com>

The stack usage was further confirmed by using -fstack-usage flag.
it was usiing 928 bytes:
..............................
drivers/dma/dw-edma/dw-edma-pcie.c:377:cleanup_module   8       static
drivers/dma/dw-edma/dw-edma-pcie.c:160:dw_edma_pcie_probe       928     static
......................................
After applying the patch it becomes :
.........
drivers/dma/dw-edma/dw-edma-pcie.c:381:cleanup_module   8       static
drivers/dma/dw-edma/dw-edma-pcie.c:160:dw_edma_pcie_probe       120     static
.......

This function is used for probing . So dynamic allocation will not create
any issues.

Thank You
