Hi,
I'm wondering if it's time to make 4K stacks the default and to start considering removing the 8K stack option alltogether soon?
One of the big problem spots was XFS, but that got some stack usage fixes recently, and the 4K stack option has been around for quite a while now, so people really should have gotten around to fixing any code that can't handle it. Are there still any big problem areas remaining?
As a starting point, something like the patch below that makes 4K stacks default and make them no longer depend on DEBUG_KERNEL could be the way to go. Then after a while of this being in effect we could remove the option of a 8K stack alltogether.
What say you?
