net: dpaa: avoid on-stack arrays of NR_CPUS elements
[ Upstream commit 555a05d84ca2c587e2d4777006e2c2fb3dfbd91d ]
The dpaa-eth driver is written for PowerPC and Arm SoCs which have 1-24
CPUs. It depends on CONFIG_NR_CPUS having a reasonably small value in
Kconfig. Otherwise, there are 2 functions which allocate on-stack arrays
of NR_CPUS elements, and these can quickly explode in size, leading to
warnings such as:
drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/dpaa/dpaa_eth.c:3280:12: warning:
stack frame size (16664) exceeds limit (2048) in 'dpaa_eth_probe' [-Wframe-larger-than]
The problem is twofold:
- Reducing the array size to the boot-time num_possible_cpus() (rather
than the compile-time NR_CPUS) creates a variable-length array,
which should be avoided in the Linux kernel.
- Using NR_CPUS as an array size makes the driver blow up in stack
consumption with generic, as opposed to hand-crafted, .config files.
A simple solution is to use dynamic allocation for num_possible_cpus()
elements (aka a small number determined at runtime).
