3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Laura Abbott <labbott@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 0c75f10312a35b149b2cebb1832316b35c2337ca upstream. syzbot reported a warning from Ion: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 3485 at mm/page_alloc.c:3926 ... __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x9fb/0xd80 mm/page_alloc.c:4252 alloc_pages_current+0xb6/0x1e0 mm/mempolicy.c:2036 alloc_pages include/linux/gfp.h:492 [inline] ion_system_contig_heap_allocate+0x40/0x2c0 drivers/staging/android/ion/ion_system_heap.c:374 ion_buffer_create drivers/staging/android/ion/ion.c:93 [inline] ion_alloc+0x2c1/0x9e0 drivers/staging/android/ion/ion.c:420 ion_ioctl+0x26d/0x380 drivers/staging/android/ion/ion-ioctl.c:84 vfs_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:46 [inline] do_vfs_ioctl+0x1b1/0x1520 fs/ioctl.c:686 SYSC_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:701 [inline] SyS_ioctl+0x8f/0xc0 fs/ioctl.c:692 This is a warning about attempting to allocate order > MAX_ORDER. This is coming from a userspace Ion allocation request. Since userspace is free to request however much memory it wants (and the kernel is free to deny its allocation), silence the allocation attempt with __GFP_NOWARN in case it fails.
