From 236e9f1538523d3d380dda1cc99571d587058f37 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Potapenko Date: Fri, 23 Jul 2021 15:50:14 -0700 Subject: kfence: skip all GFP_ZONEMASK allocations Allocation requests outside ZONE_NORMAL (MOVABLE, HIGHMEM or DMA) cannot be fulfilled by KFENCE, because KFENCE memory pool is located in a zone different from the requested one. Because callers of kmem_cache_alloc() may actually rely on the allocation to reside in the requested zone (e.g. memory allocations done with __GFP_DMA must be DMAable), skip all allocations done with GFP_ZONEMASK and/or respective SLAB flags (SLAB_CACHE_DMA and SLAB_CACHE_DMA32).
