Subject: [PATCH 1/2] KVM: arm64: Drop useless __GFP_HIGHMEM from kvm struct allocation
Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2025 01:38:21 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251119093822.2513142-2-oupton@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251119093822.2513142-1-oupton@kernel.org>
A recent change on the receiving end of vmalloc() started warning about
unsupported GFP flags passed by the caller. Nathan reports that this
warning fires in kvm_arch_alloc_vm(), owing to the fact that KVM is
passing a meaningless __GFP_HIGHMEM.
Do as the warning says and fix the code.
