The warning is gone with this patch. Instead of 1280 bytes for drbd_receiver,
I now see 512 bytes, and 768 bytes for drbd_get_response, everything else is
under 160 bytes in this file.
However, with the call chain of
drbd_receiver
conn_connect
drbd_do_auth
drbd_get_response
This still adds up to as much as before, so it only shuts up the
warning but does not reduce the maximum stack usage.
If we are sure that is ok, then your patch would be nicer,
possibly with a 'noinline_for_stack' tag on drbd_get_response.
