After improving setsockopt() coverage in trinity, I started triggering vmalloc failures pretty reliably from this code path: warn_alloc_failed+0xe9/0x140 __vmalloc_node_range+0x1be/0x270 vzalloc+0x4b/0x50 __do_replace+0x52/0x260 [ip_tables] do_ipt_set_ctl+0x15d/0x1d0 [ip_tables] nf_setsockopt+0x65/0x90 ip_setsockopt+0x61/0xa0 raw_setsockopt+0x16/0x60 sock_common_setsockopt+0x14/0x20 SyS_setsockopt+0x71/0xd0 It turns out we don't validate that the num_counters field in the struct we pass in from userspace is initialized.
