Commit Message

clang inlines the dev_ethtool() more aggressively than gcc does, leading
to a larger amount of used stack space:

net/core/ethtool.c:2536:24: error: stack frame size of 1216 bytes in function 'dev_ethtool' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than=]

Marking the sub-functions that require the most stack space as
noinline_for_stack gives us reasonable behavior on all compilers.

Is this part really needed? AFAICS dev_ethtool() is only called from
dev_ioctl() which is in a different compilation unit so that
dev_ethtool() won't be inlined anyway.

No, you are right. I had accidentally left this in place from an earlier
version. Sending a v2 now.
