Subject: [PATCH stable 4.14 0/1] Fix ext4 xfstests failure
Date: Tue, 31 Jan 2023 04:38:14 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230131043815.14989-1-risbhat@amazon.com> (raw)
While running xfstests on 4.14.304 version we see a warning being
generated in one of ext4 tests with the following stack trace.

It seems rebase to 4.14.304 brings a bunch of ext4 changes.
Commit ext4: allocate extended attribute value in vmalloc area
(73c44f61dab180b5f2dee9f15397aba36a75a882) tries to allocate buffer
using kvmalloc with improper flags that generates this warning.
To fix backport an upstream commit mm: kvmalloc does not
fallback to vmalloc for incompatible gfp flags
(170f26afa0481c72af93aa61b7398b5663451651). This removes the WARN_ON and
fallsback to kmalloc if correct flags are not passed.
