When compiling the ath11k driver using clang with KASAN enabled, the following warning is observed: drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/qmi.c:3199:13: warning: stack frame size (1560) exceeds limit (1024) in 'ath11k_qmi_driver_event_work' [-Wframe-larger-than] This is similar to the issue found in ath12k/qmi.c that was discussed in [1] and fixed with [2]. The issue is that clang inlining can explode stack usage. Just as in ath12k, ath11k_qmi_driver_event_work() itself is a pretty lightweight function, but it dispatches to several other functions which do the real work: ath11k_qmi_driver_event_work() ath11k_qmi_event_server_arrive() ath11k_qmi_fw_ind_register_send() ath11k_qmi_host_cap_send() * ath11k_qmi_event_load_bdf() ath11k_qmi_event_mem_request() ath11k_qmi_respond_fw_mem_request() ath11k_qmi_event_load_bdf() ath11k_qmi_wlanfw_m3_info_send() * ath11k_qmi_m3_load() ath11k_qmi_process_coldboot_calibration() Of these, the two marked with * have non-trivial stack usage. Mark those functions as 'noinline_for_stack' to prevent them from being inlined in ath12k_qmi_driver_event_work(), thereby eliminating the excessive stack usage. Note that this approach is a bit more "surgical" than the ath12k approach as only the two functions with the largest stack usage are modified. Compile tested only.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
