Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm: don't spin in add_stack_record when gfp flags don't allow syzbot was able to find the following path: add_stack_record_to_list mm/page_owner.c:182 [inline] inc_stack_record_count mm/page_owner.c:214 [inline] __set_page_owner+0x2c3/0x4a0 mm/page_owner.c:333 set_page_owner include/linux/page_owner.h:32 [inline] post_alloc_hook+0x240/0x2a0 mm/page_alloc.c:1851 prep_new_page mm/page_alloc.c:1859 [inline] get_page_from_freelist+0x21e4/0x22c0 mm/page_alloc.c:3858 alloc_pages_nolock_noprof+0x94/0x120 mm/page_alloc.c:7554 Don't spin in add_stack_record_to_list() when it is called from *_nolock() context.
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's memory management component has been addressed. The issue arose because the function 'add_stack_record_to_list' was called in a context that did not allow for spinning, leading to potential inefficiencies or errors in stack record management. This vulnerability was identified by syzbot, a tool that detects bugs in the Linux kernel.
Users can apply the latest patches from the Linux kernel stable tree to address this vulnerability.
