[PATCH] stackdepot: Make max number of pools build-time configurable
From: Matt Fleming
Date: Tue Jun 10 2025 - 07:16:13 EST
From: Matt Fleming <mfleming@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
We're hitting the WARN in depot_init_pool() about reaching the stack
depot limit. My assumption is because we have long stacks that don't
dedup very well.
Introduce a new config to allow users to set the number of maximum stack
depot pools at build time. Also, turn the silent capping into a
build-time assert to provide more obvious feedback when users set this
value too high.
