Subject: [PATCH v2] KVM: arm64: Don't WARN on SMCCC filter reserved range allocation failure
Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2026 17:43:34 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261013164334.1492070-1-fuad.tabba@linux.dev> (raw)
The first time userspace sets an SMCCC filter, kvm_smccc_set_filter()
inserts the reserved architecture ranges into the maple tree and WARNs
if that fails. The insertion allocates with GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT, so a
tight memory cgroup limit is enough for userspace to hit the WARN, even
though the -ENOMEM is also returned to it. The WARN dates back to when
the ranges were inserted at VM creation.
Leave -ENOMEM out of the WARN and keep it for every other error. The
two reserved ranges are fixed and disjoint and go into an empty tree
under config_lock, so any other error is a KVM bug.
Fixes: fb88707dd39bd ("KVM: arm64: Use a maple tree to represent the SMCCC filter")
