Re: stack overflow

when the function kmem_cache_sizes_init is called in

/mm/slab.c

Is there any way to change the stack size in Kernel?
Can the change in stack size simply solve this Kernel
stack overflow problem?

	That is indicative that somewhere along the path

looking at the code, it seems in theory possible to recurse via
kmem_cache_alloc()->kmem_cache_grow()->kmem_cache_slabmgmt()->kmem_cache_alloc() but
I thought Mark invented offslab_limit to prevent this.

Maybe decreasing offslab_limit can help? Defer to Mark...
