[PATCH v2] scsi: sd: Fix build warning in sd_revalidate_disk()

[Abinash Singh]

A build warning was triggered due to excessive stack usage in
sd_revalidate_disk():

drivers/scsi/sd.c: In function ‘sd_revalidate_disk.isra’:
drivers/scsi/sd.c:3824:1: warning: the frame size of 1160 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

This is caused by a large local struct queue_limits (~400B) allocated
on the stack. Replacing it with a heap allocation using kmalloc()
significantly reduces frame usage. Kernel stack is limited (~8 KB),
and allocating large structs on the stack is discouraged.
As the function already performs heap allocations (e.g. for buffer),
this change fits well.

Hi,

Thank you very much for your comments.
I have addressed all your suggestions from v1.

As you mentioned concerns regarding the readability of
the __free(kfree) attribute, I have used the classic
approach in v2. Additionally, I will also send v3
where the __free() attribute is used instead.

We can proceed with patch version you
find more suitable, and do let me know if you have
any further feedback.

changelog v1->v2:
	moved declarations together
	avoided "unreadable" cleanup attribute
	splited long line
	changed the log message to diiferentiate with buffer allocation

Thanks,
