6.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Duoming Zhou <duoming@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit c2af060d1c18beaec56351cf9c9bcbbc5af341a3 ] The kcalloc() in dmirror_device_evict_chunk() will return null if the physical memory has run out. As a result, if src_pfns or dst_pfns is dereferenced, the null pointer dereference bug will happen. Moreover, the device is going away. If the kcalloc() fails, the pages mapping a chunk could not be evicted. So add a __GFP_NOFAIL flag in kcalloc(). Finally, as there is no need to have physically contiguous memory, Switch kcalloc() to kvcalloc() in order to avoid failing allocations.
