The stack space is a problem. NVSP_RSC_MAX is 562, which is defined by host.
It will be too large for limited stack space. 

struct nvsc_rsc includes the data, len, cnt, chksum, vlan for one RSC packet. 
They
are all related to construction of one SKB and its meta data. So I put them in
one structure.
