From: Quinn Tran <quinn.tran@cavium.com>

Name pointer for sp describing each command is assigned with stack
frame's memory. The stack frame could eventually be re-use, where
name pointer access can get get garbage. This patch designates
static memory for name pointer to fix this problem.

Which stack memory accesses have been removed by this patch? Sorry but I
haven't found any stack memory access changes in this patch. Additionally,
I haven't found any changes in this patch that look useful to me. Are you
aware that for statements like "str = "unknown"" the compiler allocates
static memory for the string "unknown"?

If you want to keep the sp_str[] array after what I wrote above, please
remove the sp_name structure and change sp_str[] into something like the
following:

static const char *sp_str[] = {
	[SPCN_UNKNOWN] = "unknown",
	...
};

Sorry but the above change does not look useful to me in any way. Is this
just code churn?

Thanks,

Bart.

Sure. The intention of patch was to cleanup and make sure there is memory allocated
on the stack for name.
