The warning is disabled until patch 26/26. which picks the 3072 default.
The 3264 number was with gcc-7, which is worse than gcc-6 since it enables
an extra check.

With KASAN, every time we inline the function, the compiler has to allocate
space for another copy of the variable plus a redzone to detect whether
passing it by reference into another function causes an overflow at runtime.

Here is what I see with CONFIG_FRAME_WARN=300 and x86_64-linux-gcc-6.3.1:

before:

and with gcc-7.0.1 (including -fsanitize-address-use-after-scope), before:

fs/ocfs2/super.c:2512:1: error: the frame size of 768 bytes is larger
