Series [v3,1/2] kfence: move the size check to the beginning of __kfence_alloc() | expand

Commit Message

Allocation requests outside ZONE_NORMAL (MOVABLE, HIGHMEM or DNA) 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).

v2:
 - added parentheses around the GFP clause, as requested by Marco
v3:
 - ignore GFP_ZONEMASK, which also covers __GFP_HIGHMEM and __GFP_MOVABLE
 - move the flag check at the beginning of the function, as requested by
