Subject: USB: gadgetfs: do not WARN about excessively large memory allocations
Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2026 09:19:12 -0400
GadgetFS passes an excessively large user input len to kmalloc and kmalloc
gives a WARN (see below for details). Suppress it by passing __GFP_NOWARN
to kmalloc used by both ep_write_iter() and ep_read_iter(). Follow the
same method as commit 4f2629ea67e72 ("USB: usbfs: Don't WARN about
excessively large memory allocations").
kmalloc is used to allocate physically contiguous memory for kernel
allocations. For requests larger than KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE, kmalloc
uses the page allocator and can only support up to KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE. For
request sizes bigger than KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE, the page allocator can emit a
WARN because kmalloc allocates an order greater than MAX_PAGE_ORDER.

path")
