[PATCH 2/2] fs: select: reduce stack usage in do_sys_poll()

From: Chao Yu
Date: Sat Jul 15 2023 - 21:07:37 EST


struct poll_wqueues table caused the stack usage of do_sys_poll() to
grow beyond the warning limit on 32-bit architectures w/ gcc.

fs/select.c: In function ‘do_sys_poll’:
fs/select.c:1053:1: warning: the frame size of 1328 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

Allocating dynamic memory in do_sys_poll() to fix this issue.
