[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2] xen/gntdev: Don't allocate struct gntdev_copy_batch on stack

[Boris Ostrovsky <boris.ostrovsky@xxxxxxxxxx>]

struct gntdev_copy_batch is over 1300 bytes in size, we shouldn't
put it on stack.

Some compilers (e.g. 5.2.1) complain:
 drivers/xen/gntdev.c: In function âgntdev_ioctl_grant_copy.isra.5â:
 drivers/xen/gntdev.c:949:1: warning: the frame size of 1416 bytes
  is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
