From: Alexander Sverdlin <alexander.sverdlin@xxxxxxxxx> spi_nor_parse_sfdp() modifies the passed structure so that it points to itself (params.erase_map.regions to params.erase_map.uniform_region). This makes it impossible to copy the local struct anywhere else. Therefore only use memcpy() in backup-restore scenario. The bug may show up like below: BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffc90000b377f8 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI CPU: 4 PID: 3500 Comm: flashcp Tainted: G O 5.4.53-... #1 ...
