How can I know the rest size of the kernel stack.

you can't in a platfork-independant way


in i386 and ia64.


(in my kernel driver)

*why* do you want to do this?



because my driver hungs the machine by an certain ioctl.
and it seems to me there is no bad in the code correspond to the ioctl, except for that it is using large auto variables.
(some functions are useing ~1KB autos)

That's your problem.  Use kmalloc instead of large local variables.
