Series [v4,1/2] kfence: move the size check to the beginning of __kfence_alloc() | expand

Commit Message

Alexander Potapenko June 30, 2021, 3:02 p.m. UTC
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).

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
   Souptick Joarder
v4:
 - minor fixes to description and comment formatting

Andrew,

This series is ready to be picked up.

If possible, kindly consider including it in an upcoming batch of
mainline fixes.

Thank you!

It'd be good to get this sorted -- please take another look.

Many thanks,
