Subject: [PATCH update] firewire: cdev: reduce stack usage by ioctl_dispatch
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2009 23:14:13 +0200 (CEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <tkrat.fac844bd855a29ff@s5r6.in-berlin.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <tkrat.ec38f27900b7af20@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

Shrink the stack-allocated ioctl argument buffer from 256 to 40 bytes.
This is the maximum of what we currently need for all ioctls.

Also, turn runtime checks of the buffer size into compile-time checks.
This involves a few more lines of code but they are all taken care of by
the compiler's dead code elimination, and this way the buffer size
should actually be a little easier to update when new ioctls are added.

At first I wanted to define this as
	 BUILD_BUG_ON(_IOC_SIZE(x) > sizeof(buffer))
but sparse spews "error: bad integer constant expression" then.
