Re: XFS causing stack overflow

But that happens before do_IRQ is called, so what is the do_IRQ call
chain doing on this stack given that we've already supposed to have
switched to the interrupt stack before do_IRQ is called?
Not sure I understand the question.

The pt_regs are on the original stack (but they are quite small), all the rest 
is on the new stack. ISTs are not used for interrupts, only for 
some special exceptions. do_IRQ doesn't switch any stacks on 64bit.
