To solve this problem, use kvmalloc() to allocate kbuf from normal/highmem. But there is one problem here: kvmalloc() does not fallback to vmalloc for sub page allocations. So sub page allocation fails due to out of normal memory cannot fallback to vmalloc. Modify kvmalloc() to allow sub page allocations fallback to vmalloc when CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y and use kvmalloc() to allocate kbuf. Clamp buffer size to PAGE_SIZE to avoid arbitrary size allocation. Change since v2: - improve kvmalloc, allow sub page allocations fallback to vmalloc when CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y Change since v1: - use kvmalloc() - clamp buffer size to PAGE_SIZE Signed-off-by: Miles Chen Cc: Joe Perches Cc: Matthew Wilcox Cc: Michal Hocko --- mm/page_owner.c | 8 ++++---- mm/util.c | 6 +++--- 2 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/mm/page_owner.c b/mm/page_owner.c index d80adfe702d3..a064cd046361 100644 --- a/mm/page_owner.c +++ b/mm/page_owner.c @@ -1,7 +1,6 @@ // SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 #include #include -#include #include #include #include @@ -351,7 +350,8 @@ print_page_owner(char __user *buf, size_t count, unsigned long pfn, .skip = 0 }; - kbuf = kmalloc(count, GFP_KERNEL); + count = count > PAGE_SIZE ?
