Subject: [PATCH] virtio-gpu: fix possible memory allocation failure
Date: Sat, 28 Aug 2021 18:43:21 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210828104321.3410312-1-liuyuntao10@huawei.com> (raw)

When kmem_cache_zalloc in virtio_gpu_get_vbuf fails, it will return
an error code. But none of its callers checks this error code, and
a core dump will take place.

Considering many of its callers can't handle such error, I add
a __GFP_NOFAIL flag when calling kmem_cache_zalloc to make sure
it won't fail, and delete those unused error handlings.

Fixes: dc5698e80cf724 ("Add virtio gpu driver.")
