[PATCH for-5.15.x 1/2] mm/damon/dbgfs: use '__GFP_NOWARN' for user-specified size buffer allocation
From: SeongJae Park
Date: Sun Nov 21 2021 - 06:02:36 EST
commit db7a347b26fe05d2e8c115bb24dfd908d0252bc3 upstream.
Patch series "DAMON fixes".
This patch (of 2):
DAMON users can trigger below warning in '__alloc_pages()' by invoking
write() to some DAMON debugfs files with arbitrarily high count
argument, because DAMON debugfs interface allocates some buffers based
on the user-specified 'count'.
if (unlikely(order >= MAX_ORDER)) {
WARN_ON_ONCE(!(gfp & __GFP_NOWARN));
return NULL;
}
Because the DAMON debugfs interface code checks failure of the
'kmalloc()', this commit simply suppresses the warnings by adding
'__GFP_NOWARN' flag.
