CVE-2024-38543
lib/test_hmm.c: handle src_pfns and dst_pfns allocation failure
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
lib/test_hmm.c: handle src_pfns and dst_pfns allocation failure
The kcalloc() in dmirror_device_evict_chunk() will return null if the
physical memory has run out. As a result, if src_pfns or dst_pfns is
dereferenced, the null pointer dereference bug will happen.
Moreover, the device is going away. If the kcalloc() fails, the pages
mapping a chunk could not be evicted. So add a __GFP_NOFAIL flag in
kcalloc().
Finally, as there is no need to have physically contiguous memory, Switch
kcalloc() to kvcalloc() in order to avoid failing allocations.
