Subject: [-mm patch] i386: enable 4k stacks by default
Date: Sat, 28 Apr 2007 21:19:27 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070428191927.GN3468@stusta.de> (raw)
4k stacks have become a well-tested feature used fore a long time in
Fedora and even in RHEL 4.
Defaulting to 4k stacks in -mm kernel will give some more testing
coverage and should show whether there are problems left.
Keeping the option for now should make the people happy who want to use
the experimental -mm kernel but don't trust the well-tested 4k stacks.
Additionally, make it more obvious that available stack space is not
being halved.

If you say Y here the kernel will use a 4Kb stacksize for the
kernel stack attached to each process/thread. This facilitates
running more threads on a system and also reduces the pressure
on the VM subsystem for higher order allocations. This option
- will also use IRQ stacks to compensate for the reduced stackspace.
+ will also use separate 4Kb IRQ stacks to compensate for the
+ reduced stackspace.
