Under some circumstances, the compiler will emit the following warning for
rxrpc_send_response():
net/rxrpc/output.c: In function 'rxrpc_send_response':
net/rxrpc/output.c:974:1: warning: the frame size of 1160 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes
This occurs because the local variables include a 16-element scatterlist
array and a 16-element bio_vec array. It's probably not actually a problem
as this function is only called by the rxrpc I/O thread function in a
kernel thread and there won't be much on the stack before it.
Fix this by overlaying the bio_vec array over the kvec array in the
rxrpc_local struct. There is one of these per I/O thread and the kvec
array is intended for pointing at bits of a packet to be transmitted,
typically a DATA or an ACK packet. As packets for a local endpoint are
only transmitted by its specific I/O thread, there can be no race, and so
overlaying this bit of memory should be no problem.

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.
