But the only constant is the action code. Everything else is parameters
and will be different on each call.
You mean something like this?
static const u32 template[] = {
action,
};
u32 *request = kmalloc_array(sizeof(*request), 4);
memcpy(request, template, sizeof(*request) * 1);
request[1] = param0;
request[2] = param1;
request[3] = param2;
ret = send(request);
kfree(request);
return ret;
Not seeing how that would be an improvement. It's a lot more code, a lot
less readable, more prone to bugs due to incorrect structure sizes
and/or params in the wrong place. The current version is easy to read
and therefore to maintain, almost impossible to get wrong, and only puts
a few words on the stack. I think the largest request is region of 15
words? I'm not seeing what the problem is.
