Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> page_pool: always add GFP_NOWARN for ATOMIC allocations<br /> <br /> Driver authors often forget to add GFP_NOWARN for page allocation<br /> from the datapath. This is annoying to users as OOMs are a fact<br /> of life, and we pretty much expect network Rx to hit page allocation<br /> failures during OOM. Make page pool add GFP_NOWARN for ATOMIC allocations<br /> by default.
