The quilt patch titled Subject: mm/vmalloc: fix vmalloc which may return null if called with __GFP_NOFAIL has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-vmalloc-fix-vmalloc-which-may-return-null-if-called-with-__gfp_nofail.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

------------------------------------------------------ From: "Hailong.Liu" hailong.liu@oppo.com Subject: mm/vmalloc: fix vmalloc which may return null if called with __GFP_NOFAIL Date: Fri, 10 May 2024 18:01:31 +0800

commit a421ef303008 ("mm: allow !GFP_KERNEL allocations for kvmalloc") includes support for __GFP_NOFAIL, but it presents a conflict with commit dd544141b9eb ("vmalloc: back off when the current task is OOM-killed"). A possible scenario is as follows:

process-a __vmalloc_node_range(GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NOFAIL) __vmalloc_area_node() vm_area_alloc_pages() --> oom-killer send SIGKILL to process-a if (fatal_signal_pending(current)) break; --> return NULL;

To fix this, do not check fatal_signal_pending() in vm_area_alloc_pages() if __GFP_NOFAIL set.

This issue occurred during OPLUS KASAN TEST. Below is part of the log -> oom-killer sends signal to process [65731.222840] [ T1308] oom-kill:constraint=CONSTRAINT_NONE,nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0,global_oom,task_memcg=/apps/uid_10198,task=gs.intelligence,pid=32454,uid=10198
