Subject: [PATCH] drm/virtio: Fix possible memory allocation failure
Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2026 11:32:56 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260818113256.27848-1-triet.hoang.dev@gmail.com> (raw)
When kmem_cache_zalloc in virtio_gpu_get_vbuf fails, it will return
an error code. But none of its callers checks this error code, and
a core dump will take place.
Add __GFP_NOFAIL flag when calling kmem_cache_zalloc to make sure
it won't fail
Fixes: 6f3d9d0dd335 ("drm/virtio: Add drm_panic support")
