Subject: [patch] kvm: suppress KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING allocation failure
Date: Thu, 8 Feb 2018 13:35:08 -0800 (PST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.10.1802081334120.133173@chino.kir.corp.google.com> (raw)

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.
