static int __noreturn rcu_gp_kthread(void *unused)
Does -rcu commit 2f20de99a63b ("rcu: Make rcu_gp_cleanup() be noinline
for tracing") help?
Hi Paul,

The stack frame size decreased to 2256 bytes:

  kernel/rcu/tree.c:2129:23: warning: stack frame size of 2256 bytes in
function 'rcu_gp_kthread' [-Wframe-larger-than=]
Very good, thank you! Does the following patch (in addition to that
commit) also help?

Hi Paul,

I applied the below patch on commit 2f20de99a63b and the warning is gone.

Best Regards,
Rong Chen


Thanx, Paul
