"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnetfs: Fix missing alloc tagging of direct mempool allocations\n\nCommit 1d78d56c43ef (\"netfs: Fix folio_queue ENOMEM in writeback by\nadding a mempool\") added a mempool for the folio_queues and made the\nrequest, subrequest and folio_queue allocations distinguish between\nwriteback and everything else. Writeback is part of memory reclaim\nand must not fail due to ENOMEM, so it allocates under GFP_NOFS\nthrough mempool_alloc(), which may dip into the pool's reserve and,\nif that runs empty, wait for elements to be returned. The\nGFP_KERNEL paths, which can return -ENOMEM to their callers, invoke\nthe pool's ->alloc() callback directly instead.\n\nThe direct call, however, skips the alloc_hooks() wrapper that the\nmempool_alloc() macro provides. The pool callbacks, mempool_alloc_slab()\nand mempool_kmalloc(), call kmem_cache_alloc_noprof() and kmalloc_noprof()\nand rely on current->alloc_tag having been set by the caller. With\nCONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG=y this leads to\n\n current->alloc_tag not set\n WARNING: ./include/linux/alloc_tag.h:161 at __alloc_tagging_slab_alloc_hook\n alloc_tag was not set\n WARNING: ./include/linux/alloc_tag.h:166 at __alloc_tagging_slab_free_hook\n\nat allocation and free time respectively, as reported when reading\nfiles on a CIFS mount. The allocations are also missing from\n/proc/allocinfo.\n\nWrap the direct ->alloc() invocations in alloc_hooks() with a new\nmempool_alloc_noreserve() helper in include/linux/mempool.h, next to\nthe other alloc_hooks()-wrapped macros such as mempool_alloc(). The\nGFP_KERNEL paths keep their failable allocation semantics, they just\nget tagged now."
