From 1f5eaa90010ed7cf0ae90a526c48657d02c6086f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Wed, 21 Feb 2018 14:10:59 +0100 Subject: fanotify: Avoid lost events due to ENOMEM for unlimited queues Fanotify queues of unlimited length do not expect events can be lost. Since these queues are used for system auditing and other security related tasks, loosing events can even have security implications. Currently, since the allocation is small (32-bytes), it cannot fail however when we start accounting events in memcgs, allocation can start failing. So avoid loosing events due to failure to allocate memory by making event allocation use __GFP_NOFAIL.
