The mtk_bmt driver recursively calls its scan_bmt() helper function during device initialization, while looking for a valid block mapping table (BMT). 2. Commit fa4dc86e98 ("kernel: backport MEMREAD ioctl"): - increased the size of some stack-allocated structures (like struct mtd_oob_ops, used in bbt_nand_read(), which is indirectly called from scan_bmt()), - increased the stack size for some functions (for example, spinand_mtd_read(), which is indirectly called from scan_bmt(), now uses an extra stack-allocated struct mtd_ecc_stats). 3. OpenWrt currently compiles the kernel with the -fno-optimize-sibling-calls flag, which prevents tail-call optimization. Collectively, all of these factors caused stack usage in the mtk_bmt driver to grow excessively large, triggering stack overflows. Recursion is not really necessary in scan_bmt() as it simply iterates over flash memory blocks in reverse order, looking for a valid BMT. Refactor the logic contained in the scan_bmt() and read_bmt() functions in target/linux/generic/files/drivers/mtd/nand/mtk_bmt_v2.c so that deep recursion is prevented (and therefore also any potential stack overflows it may cause).
