Any function you have that uses a lot of stack space from local
variables increases the risk of exceeding the limited size of the
kernel's stack. Since some structures can be quite large, you need to
be carefull about allocating space for them on the stack. e.g.
function foo below uses a lot more stack space then function bar.
void foo(void) {
struct sk_buff skb;
....
}
void bar(void) {
struct sk_buff *skb
...
}
