You need to investigate and show where and why this is happening. My
guess is you have a network driver that uses a lot of kernel stack
space, which itself would be a bug.

Note that there are compiler versions out there that mis-optimise and
eat stack space - the kernel build should be warning if a function
uses a large amount of stack.
