I asked the original authors of this about the change, and apparently is results in a stack size warning. Arnd Bergmann ask for it to be changed from what you are suggesting to what it currently is. See: https://www.lkml.org/lkml/2019/6/19/440 So apparently this change will cause compile warnings due to the size of struct i2c_client. -corey > > Signed-off-by: Wolfram Sang <wsa+rene...@sang-engineering.com> > --- > drivers/char/ipmi/ipmb_dev_int.c | 21 ++++++++------------- > 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/char/ipmi/ipmb_dev_int.c > b/drivers/char/ipmi/ipmb_dev_int.c > index 382b28f1cf2f..10d89886e5f3 100644 > --- a/drivers/char/ipmi/ipmb_dev_int.c > +++ b/drivers/char/ipmi/ipmb_dev_int.c > @@ -137,7 +137,7 @@ static ssize_t ipmb_write(struct file *file, const char > __user *buf, > { > struct ipmb_dev *ipmb_dev = to_ipmb_dev(file); > u8 rq_sa, netf_rq_lun, msg_len; > - union i2c_smbus_data data; > + struct i2c_client temp_client; > u8 msg[MAX_MSG_LEN]; > ssize_t ret; > > @@ -160,21 +160,16 @@ static ssize_t ipmb_write(struct file *file, const char > __user *buf, > } > > /* > - * subtract rq_sa and netf_rq_lun from the length of the msg passed to > - * i2c_smbus_xfer > + * subtract rq_sa and netf_rq_lun from the length of the msg.
