net: dpaa: avoid on-stack arrays of NR_CPUS elements
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).
