When the kernel compiled with KASAN=y, GCC adds redzones for each variable on stack. This enlarges function's stack frame and causes: 'warning: the frame size of X bytes is larger than Y bytes' The worst case I've seen for now is following: ../net/wireless/nl80211.c: In function ‘nl80211_send_wiphy’: ../net/wireless/nl80211.c:1731:1: warning: the frame size of 5448 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=] } ^ That kind of warning becomes useless with KASAN=y. It doesn't necessarily indicate that there is some problem in the code, thus we should turn it off.
