Subject: [PATCH] Reduce stack used by lib/hexdump.c
Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2007 12:57:53 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1196369873.22120.69.camel@localhost> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <474F0A68.1080809@oracle.com>

200 bytes on stack might be a bit much.

Size goes up to
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   1142       0       0    1142     476 lib/hexdump.o
Without the WARN_ON
   1053       0       0    1053     41d lib/hexdump.o
Before this patch
   1004       0       0    1004     3ec lib/hexdump.o

Win some/lose some...
