[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.16 15/52] KVM: PPC: Book3S: Suppress failed alloc warning in H_COPY_TOFROM_GUEST

From: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
Date: 2022-01-17 16:59:49
Also in: lkml, stable
Subsystem: kernel virtual machine for powerpc (kvm/powerpc), linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

From: Alexey Kardashevskiy <redacted>

[ Upstream commit 792020907b11c6f9246c21977cab3bad985ae4b6 ]

H_COPY_TOFROM_GUEST is an hcall for an upper level VM to access its nested
VMs memory. The userspace can trigger WARN_ON_ONCE(!(gfp & __GFP_NOWARN))
in __alloc_pages() by constructing a tiny VM which only does
H_COPY_TOFROM_GUEST with a too big GPR9 (number of bytes to copy).

This silences the warning by adding __GFP_NOWARN.
