Hi,
according to checkstack the lpfc_fc_frame_check occupies the first place in stack usage:
make checkstack
objdump -d vmlinux $(find . -name '*.ko') | \
	perl /root/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.32/linux-2.6.32.x86_64/scripts/checkstack.pl x86_64
0x000013f4 lpfc_fc_frame_check [lpfc]:			1936
...
This change makes the rctl_names static, thus not on stack.

Tomas
