If KASAN is really bloating the stack that much you may need to consider increasing the stack size with KASAN on. We have 16K now, but even that may not be enough if you more than double it. Otherwise it may just crash with KASAN on in more complex setups. -Andi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
