[PATCH linux-next v3] SUNRPC: rpcrdma_register_default_external: Dynamically allocate ib_phys_buf

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



rpcrdma_register_default_external() is several frames into the call stack which
goes deeper yet. You run the risk of stack corruption by declaring such a large
automatic variable, so move the array of 'struct ib_phys_buf' objects into the
transport structure 'struct rpcrdma_xprt' (which is dynamically allocated) in
order to silence the frame-larger-than warning. Access to each struct
rpcrdma_xprt is serialized by XPRT_LOCKED in xprt_reserve_xprt(), so there is
no danger of multiple accessors to the array of struct ib_phys_buf objects.

net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/verbs.c: In function 'rpcrdma_register_default_external':
net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/verbs.c:1774:1: warning: the frame size of 1056 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

gcc version 4.6.3

v1 - Use kmalloc() to dynamically allocate and free the array of 'struct
ib_phys_buf' objects

v2 - Move the array of 'struct ib_phys_buf' objects into struct rpcrdma_req
and pass this request down through rpcrdma_register_external() and
rpcrdma_register_default_external(). This is less overhead then using
kmalloc() and requires no extra error checking as the allocation burden is
shifted to the transport client.

v3 - Move the array of 'struct ib_phys_buf' objects into struct rpcrdma_xprt.
Pass a pointer to this transport structure into rpcrdma_register_default_external().
This is less overhead then using kmalloc() and requires no extra error checking
as the allocation burden is shifted to the transport client.
