Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.12 07/29] tomoyo: don't emit warning in tomoyo_write_control()
Date: Sun, 26 Jan 2025 10:01:48 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250126150210.955385-7-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250126150210.955385-1-sashal@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit 3df7546fc03b8f004eee0b9e3256369f7d096685 ]
syzbot is reporting too large allocation warning at tomoyo_write_control(),
for one can write a very very long line without new line character. To fix
this warning, I use __GFP_NOWARN rather than checking for KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE,
for practically a valid line should be always shorter than 32KB where the
"too small to fail" memory-allocation rule applies.
One might try to write a valid line that is longer than 32KB, but such
request will likely fail with -ENOMEM. Therefore, I feel that separately
returning -EINVAL when a line is longer than KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE is redundant.
There is no need to distinguish over-32KB and over-KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE.
