Subject: RE: [PATCH 1/2] zstd: pass pointer rathen than structure to
 functions

[Reminder] Any updates ?

> currently params structure is passed in all functions, which increases
> stack usage in all the function and lead to stack overflow on target like
> ARM with kernel stack size of 8 KB so better to pass pointer.
 
> Checked for ARM:
 

> (ZSTD_compressContinue_internal)-> 136                  -> 88
> (ZSTD_compressCCtx)             -> 192                  -> 64
> (zstd_compress)                 -> 144                  -> 96
