[PATCH v2 01/14] common/sfc_efx/base: reduce stack in RSS context table write

Wed Aug 12 19:08:21 CEST 2026


From: Andy Moreton <andy.moreton at amd.com>

Code analysis reports an error for excessive stack consumption
(over 1KB). Use a heap allocated payload buffer instead.

Fixes: e7ea5f304f0f ("common/sfc_efx/base: support selecting RSS table entry count")
