openvswitch: reduce stack usage in do_execute_actions
do_execute_actions() function can be called recursively multiple times while executing actions that require pipeline forking or recirculations. It may also be re-entered multiple times if the packet leaves openvswitch module and re-enters it through a different port. Currently, there is a 256-byte array allocated on stack in this function that is supposed to hold NSH header. Compilers tend to pre-allocate that space right at the beginning of the function: a88: 48 81 ec b0 01 00 00 sub $0x1b0,%rsp NSH is not a very common protocol, but the space is allocated on every recursive call or re-entry multiplying the wasted stack space. Move the stack allocation to push_nsh() function that is only used if NSH actions are actually present. push_nsh() is also a simple function without a possibility for re-entry, so the stack is returned right away. With this change the preallocated space is reduced by 256 B per call: b18: 48 81 ec b0 00 00 00 sub $0xb0,%rsp Signed-off-by: Ilya Maximets <i.maximets@ovn.org> Reviewed-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Reviewed-by: Eelco Chaudron echaudro@redhat.com Reviewed-by: Aaron Conole <aconole@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
