If that is passed in from user space you would need special compat
code for 64bit kernels who support 32bit userland.
Better to avoid pointers.

Is there any check that would guard the recursion from stack
overflow on malicious input?

NOFAIL is usually a bad sign. It should be only used if there is no
alternative.
