From 7f11e51f0c9d158e06eb240b5316b60e80a49fc1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tetsuo Handa Date: Tue, 19 Oct 2021 20:54:31 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] smackfs: use __GFP_NOFAIL for smk_cipso_doi() [ 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.
