Subject: [PATCH zfsonlinux] debian/patches: backport vmalloc gfp flag fix
Date: Wed, 20 May 2026 10:36:12 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260520083612.781892-1-c.ebner@proxmox.com> (raw)
Since commit 07003531e ("mm/vmalloc: warn on invalid vmalloc gfp
flags") [0] the Linux kernel explicitley warns and clears unsupported
gfp flags to vmalloc calls. ZFS already fixed some of these, in
particular __GFP_COMP flag in commit cb1833023 ("kmem: don't add
__GFP_COMP for KM_VMEM allocations"). This was however incomplete.
Backport the upstream fix, the otherwise shown kernel trace is
potentially alarming but benign as also confirmed by upstream [1].

+Subject: [PATCH] spl_kvmalloc: remove __GFP_COMP before calling vmalloc()
+
+In cb1833023 we stopped using it for KM_VMEM allocations, since its not
+a valid flag for vmalloc(). However, there's a fallback path for
+non-KM_VMEM allocations to use vmalloc(), and we need to remove
+__GFP_COMP there too to avoid a warning.
