Some functions in the datapath code are factored out so that each
one has a stack frame smaller than 1024 bytes with gcc. However,
when compiling with clang, the functions are inlined more aggressively
and combined again so we get
net/openvswitch/datapath.c:1124:12: error: stack frame size of 1528 bytes in function 'ovs_flow_cmd_set' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than=]
Marking both get_flow_actions() and ovs_nla_init_match_and_action()
as 'noinline_for_stack' gives us the same behavior that we see with
gcc, and no warning. Note that this does not mean we actually use
less stack, as the functions call each other, and we still get
three copies of the large 'struct sw_flow_key' type on the stack.
The comment tells us that this was previously considered safe,
presumably since the netlink parsing functions are called with
a known backchain that does not also use a lot of stack space.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
