[PATCH net-next] net/sched: cls_flower: reduce fl_change stack size

From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Thu Jan 19 2017 - 04:46:35 EST


The new ARP support has pushed the stack size over the edge on ARM,
as there are two large objects on the stack in this function (mask
and tb) and both have now grown a bit more:

net/sched/cls_flower.c: In function 'fl_change':
net/sched/cls_flower.c:928:1: error: the frame size of 1072 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]

We can solve this by dynamically allocating one or both of them.
I first tried to do it just for the mask, but that only saved
152 bytes on ARM, while this version just does it for the 'tb'
array, bringing the stack size back down to 664 bytes.
