rpcrdma_register_default_external() is several frames into the call stack which goes deeper yet. You run the risk of stack corruption by declaring such a large automatic variable, so dynamically allocate the array of 'struct ib_phys_buf' objects in order to silence the frame-larger-than warning. net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/verbs.c: In function 'rpcrdma_register_default_external': net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/verbs.c:1774:1: warning: the frame size of 1056 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=] gcc version 4.6.3 Cc: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: "J.
