I just took a look at the implementation and it looks like you are right
Cheng.

I opened a ticket here: https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/issues/17893

The simplest way to answer this is if you can help us construct a
program, whether as Haskell or cmm, which tickles the failure you
suspect is there ?

The rts definitely gets less love overall.  And there’s fewer folks
involved in those layers overall.

    Hi all,

    When an MVar# primop blocks, it jumps to a function in
    HeapStackCheck.cmm which pushes a RET_SMALL stack frame before
    returning to the scheduler (e.g. the takeMVar# primop jumps to
    stg_block_takemvar for stack adjustment). But these functions directly
    bump Sp without checking for possible stack overflow, I wonder if it
    is a bug?

    Cheers,
    Cheng
