I read that XFS has problems with 4K Stack size for Linux on 32-bit systems. How did we address this in the centosplus kernel? Since what release of CentOS was this problem resolved?

I just wanted to add that xfs has no special connection to the centosplus kernel. If you want xfs you pick up the kmod-xfs package (no need to change kernel).

Is there a quick way to know what size the Linux stack is configured to be in a system's that's running?

The only way I know of is to look at your kernels .config (typicall found at /boot/config-$(uname -r)). grep for 4KSTACK. If it's not set it's 8K (afaik).

Thanks for your help.
