4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@xxxxxxxxxx> commit a9f61ca793becabdefab03b77568d6c6f8c1bc79 upstream. When we crash from NMI context (e.g. after NMI injection from host when 'sysctl -w kernel.unknown_nmi_panic=1' is set) we hit kernel BUG at mm/vmalloc.c:1530! as vfree() is denied. While the issue could be solved with in_nmi() check instead I opted for skipping vfree on all sorts of crashes to reduce the amount of work which can cause consequent crashes. We don't really need to free anything on crash. Signed-off-by: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: K. Y.
