[PATCH] deflate stack usage in lib/inflate.c

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

 



inflate_fixed() and huft_build() together use around 2.7k of stack.  When
using 4k stacks, I saw stack overflows from interrupts arriving while
unpacking the root initrd:

do_IRQ: stack overflow: 384

 [<c04657e2>] unpack_to_rootfs+0x5f2/0x8c1
 [<c0465acf>] populate_rootfs+0x1e/0xe4

(This was under Xen, but there's no reason it couldn't happen on bare
  hardware.)

This patch mallocs the local variables, thereby reducing the stack
usage to sane levels.
