rpcrdma_register_default_external() is several frames into the call stack which goes deeper yet. You run the risk of stack corruption by declaring such a large automatic variable, so move the array of 'struct ib_phys_buf' objects into the transport structure 'struct rpcrdma_xprt' (which is dynamically allocated) in order to silence the frame-larger-than warning. Access to each struct rpcrdma_xprt is serialized by XPRT_LOCKED in xprt_reserve_xprt(), so there is no danger of multiple accessors to the array of struct ib_phys_buf objects. net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/verbs.c: In function 'rpcrdma_register_default_external': net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/verbs.c:1774:1: warning: the frame size of 1056 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=] gcc version 4.6.3 Cc: Trond Myklebust <redacted> Cc: "J.

This is less overhead then using kmalloc() and requires no extra error checking as the allocation burden is shifted to the transport client. v3 - Move the array of 'struct ib_phys_buf' objects into struct rpcrdma_xprt. Pass a pointer to this transport structure into rpcrdma_register_default_external().

Looks good to me; wish we could get it tested.... In future if we do decide to also increase the size of that array we may need to allocate it separately from struct rpcrdma_xprt itself, which looks already fairly large without it; on x86_64: $ gdb net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/xprtrdma.ko ... (gdb) p sizeof(struct rpcrdma_xprt) $1 = 2912 But that shouldn't be a big deal to do. --b.
