[PATCH v9 net-next 2/6] net/mlx5e: heap-allocate devlink param values
From: Ratheesh Kannoth
Date: Mon Mar 30 2026 - 01:36:37 EST
union devlink_param_value grows when U64 array params
are added to devlink. Keeping a four-element array of that
union on the stack in mlx5e_pcie_cong_get_thresh_config()
then trips -Wframe-larger-than=1280. Allocate the temporary
values with kcalloc() and free them on success and
error paths.
