Does this just split the large stack frame between two nested functions?
I'd also expect the compiler to inline do_write_buffer_locked() so it
makes little difference.
OTOH I can't immediately see where the large stack frame comes from.

Isn't that separate and unrelated?
The compiler might optimise away the parameters you are adding back.
