[patch] kvm: suppress KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING allocation failure

From: David Rientjes
Date: Thu Feb 08 2018 - 16:35:15 EST


The KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING ioctl does a vmalloc() of
sizeof(struct kvm_irq_routing_entry) multiplied by a user-supplied value.
This can be up to 4096 entries on architectures such as arm64 and s390
(and the upper bound may be increased on s390 eventually).

This can produce a vmalloc allocation failure warning:

vmalloc: allocation failure: 0 bytes, mode:0x24000c2(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_HIGHMEM)
Call Trace:

entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x17

If the vmalloc address space is fully depleted, the ioctl can gracefully
fail. Add __GFP_NOWARN to the allocation to suppress the warning.
