The new challenge is to remove VLAs from the kernel
(see https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/7/621) to eventually
turn on -Wvla.
Using a kmalloc array is the easy way to fix this but kmalloc is still
more expensive than stack allocation. Introduce a fast path with a
fixed size stack array to cover most chip with gpios below some fixed
amount. The slow path dynamically allocates an array to cover those
chips with a large number of gpios.

Previously it looks like just mask was zeroed.
So could this just be:
memset(mask, 0, BITS_TO_LONGS(chip->ngpio));
I'm guessing it's not a huge additional overhead as it is, but it's more in line with what was there.

Blindly replacing VLAs by allocated arrays is IMHO not such a good solution.
On the largest systems, NR_GPIOS is 2048, so that makes 2 arrays of 256
bytes. That's an uppper limit, and assumes they are all on the same gpiochip,
which they probably aren't.
Still, 2 x 256 bytes is a lot, so I agree it should be fixed.
So, wouldn't it make more sense to not allocate memory, but just process
the request in chunks (say, at most 128 gpios per chunk, i.e. 2 x
16 bytes)? The code already caters for handling chunks due to not all gpios
belonging to the same gpiochip. That will probably also be faster than
allocating memory, which is the main idea behind this API.

FWIW, can this warning be triggered from userspace?

Out-of-context, the code does:

I don't think this approach will work since gpio_chip_{get,set}_multiple
expect to be working on arrays for the entire chip. There doesn't seem
to be a nice way to work on a subset of GPIOs without defeating the point
of the multiple API.
is 2*256 = 512 bytes really too much stack space? I guess we could
switch to a Kconfig to allow for better bounds.

You're right, sorry for missing that.

That's a good question.
As long as a VLA is used, it's probably fine, as chip->ngpio is quite small.
If you would change it to an array that can accommodate NR_GPIOS bits, you
have to start caring about recursion (e.g. gpio-74x164 driven from spi-gpio,
where I can extend the chain to increase the level of recursion arbitrarily).

I think a config option for FASTPATH_NGPIO is preferable.
As I've mentioned ARCH_NR_GPIOS is much greater than any chip->ngpio on
my platform.
It's at least one order of magnitude, almost 2.
