ide-floppy: allocate only toplevel packet commands
This makes the top-level function just allocate a single pc entry, and then pass it down as a pointer to all the helper functions that also need one of those "struct ide_atapi_pc" things. As far as I can tell, the use of these things never overlaps each other, BUT I DID NOT CHECK VERY CLOSELY! So I'm not guaranteeing this is correct, and I don't have the hardware. It would be good for somebody who knows the code more, and has the hardware, could please test this? With this, ide-floppy still has fairly big stack usage, but instead of idefloppy_ioctl [vmlinux]: 1208 ide_floppy_get_capacity [vmlinux]: 872 idefloppy_release [vmlinux]: 408 idefloppy_open [vmlinux]: 408 where those two first ones are at the very top of the list of stack users for me, it's now ide_floppy_get_capacity [vmlinux]: 404 ide_floppy_ioctl [vmlinux]: 364 ie they are still high, but they are no longer at the top. Borislav: Since ide_floppy_get_capacity is passed as a function pointer to other parts of the kernel (e.g., block layer) we need that ide_atapi_pc to be created on stack. Also, redid stack users numbers above. The two functions missing from Linus' original 'make stackusage' output are due to ide being rewritten/reorganized atm.
