[PATCH 5.12 03/45] airo: work around stack usage warning

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu May 20 2021 - 05:26:06 EST


From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>

commit 7909a590eba6d021f104958857cbc4f0089daceb upstream.

gcc-11 with KASAN on 32-bit arm produces a warning about a function
that needs a lot of stack space:

drivers/net/wireless/cisco/airo.c: In function 'setup_card.constprop':
drivers/net/wireless/cisco/airo.c:3960:1: error: the frame size of 1512 bytes is larger than 1400 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]

Most of this is from a single large structure that could be dynamically
allocated or moved into the per-device structure. However, as the callers
all seem to have a fairly well bounded call chain, the easiest change
is to pull out the part of the function that needs the large variables
into a separate function and mark that as noinline_for_stack. This does
not reduce the total stack usage, but it gets rid of the warning and
requires minimal changes otherwise.
