Subject: nouveau/dmem: handle kcalloc() allocation failure
From: Duoming Zhou <duoming@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 16e87fe23d4af6df920406494ced5c0f4354567b upstream.
The kcalloc() in nouveau_dmem_evict_chunk() will return null if
the physical memory has run out. As a result, if we dereference
src_pfns, dst_pfns or dma_addrs, the null pointer dereference bugs
will happen.
Moreover, the GPU is going away. If the kcalloc() fails, we could not
evict all pages mapping a chunk. So this patch adds a __GFP_NOFAIL
flag in kcalloc().
Finally, as there is no need to have physically contiguous memory,
this patch switches kcalloc() to kvcalloc() in order to avoid
failing allocations.
