[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.15 40/47] ext2: Use kvmalloc() for group descriptor array

From: Sasha Levin
Date: Wed Oct 12 2022 - 21:37:35 EST


From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit e7c7fbb9a8574ebd89cc05db49d806c7476863ad ]

Array of group descriptor block buffers can get rather large. In theory
in can reach 1MB for perfectly valid filesystem and even more for
maliciously crafted ones. Use kvmalloc() to allocate the array to avoid
straining memory allocator with large order allocations unnecessarily.
