More user friendly alternative would be to have a GFP_ flag similar to __GFP_NOLOCKDEP which would allow us to skip the recursion.

On some architectures (like ia64) stack walking is slow and currently requires memory allocation. This causes stack collection for page_owner=on to fall into recursion. This patch implements a page_owner_stack=off to allow page stats collection.
