Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14 32/39] smackfs: use __GFP_NOFAIL for smk_cipso_doi()
Date: Mon,  8 Nov 2021 20:06:42 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211109010649.1191041-32-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20211109010649.1191041-1-sashal@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit f91488ee15bd3cac467e2d6a361fc2d34d1052ae ]

syzbot is reporting kernel panic at smk_cipso_doi() due to memory
allocation fault injection [1]. The reason for need to use panic() was
not explained. But since no fix was proposed for 18 months, for now
let's use __GFP_NOFAIL for utilizing syzbot resource on other bugs.
