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.
