Hi Andrey,
I am on a fence. On one hand removing bug detection sucks and each
case of a missed memory corruption leads to a splash of assorted bug
reports by syzbot. On the other hand everything you said is true.
Maybe support for CONFIG_VMAP_STACK will enable stacks larger then
PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER?
