scsi: scsi_debug: Fix a warning in resp_write_scat()
[ Upstream commit 216e179724c1d9f57a8ababf8bd7aaabef67f01b ]
As 'lbdof_blen' is coming from user, if the size in kzalloc() is >=
MAX_ORDER then we hit a warning.
Call trace:
sg_ioctl
sg_ioctl_common
scsi_ioctl
sg_scsi_ioctl
blk_execute_rq
blk_mq_sched_insert_request
blk_mq_run_hw_queue
__blk_mq_delay_run_hw_queue
__blk_mq_run_hw_queue
blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests
__blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests
blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list
scsi_queue_rq
scsi_dispatch_cmd
scsi_debug_queuecommand
schedule_resp
resp_write_scat
If you try to allocate a memory larger than(>=) MAX_ORDER, then kmalloc()
will definitely fail. It creates a stack trace and messes up dmesg. The
user controls the size here so if they specify a too large size it will
fail.
Add __GFP_NOWARN in order to avoid too large allocation warning. This is
detected by static analysis using smatch.
