xen/gntdev: reduce copy batch size to 16
IOCTL_GNTDEV_GRANT_COPY batches copy operations to reduce the number of hypercalls. The stack is used to avoid a memory allocation in a hot path. However, a batch size of 24 requires more than 1024 bytes of stack which in some configurations causes a compiler warning. xen/gntdev.c: In function ‘gntdev_ioctl_grant_copy’: xen/gntdev.c:949:1: warning: the frame size of 1248 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=] This is a harmless warning as there is still plenty of stack spare, but people keep trying to "fix" it. Reduce the batch size to 16 to reduce stack usage to less than 1024 bytes. This should have minimal impact on performance. Signed-off-by: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com>
