Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\nmm/vmalloc: fix vmalloc which may return null if called with __GFP_NOFAIL\ncommit a421ef303008 ('mm: allow !GFP_KERNEL allocations for kvmalloc')\nincludes support for __GFP_NOFAIL, but it presents a conflict with commit\ndd544141b9eb ('vmalloc: back off when the current task is OOM-killed'). A\npossible scenario is as follows:\nprocess-a\n__vmalloc_node_range(GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NOFAIL)\n__vmalloc_area_node()\nvm_area_alloc_pages()\n--> oom-killer send SIGKILL to process-a\nif (fatal_signal_pending(current)) break;\n--> return NULL;\nTo fix this, do not check fatal_signal_pending() in vm_area_alloc_pages()\nif __GFP_NOFAIL set.\nThis issue occurred during OPLUS KASAN TEST.
