This makes\nthem inconsistent with vmalloc(), which was recently extended to support\nGFP_NOFS and GFP_NOIO allocations.\n\nPage table allocations performed during shadow population also ignore the\nexternal gfp_mask.  To preserve the intended semantics of GFP_NOFS and\nGFP_NOIO, wrap the apply_to_page_range() calls into the appropriate\nmemalloc scope.\n\nxfs calls vmalloc with GFP_NOFS, so this bug could lead to deadlock.\n\nThere was a report here\nhttps://lkml.kernel.org/r/686ea951.050a0220.385921.0016.GAE@google.com\n\nThis patch:\n - Extends kasan_populate_vmalloc() and helpers to take gfp_mask;\n - Passes gfp_mask down to alloc_pages_bulk() and __get_free_page();\n - Enforces GFP_NOFS/NOIO semantics with memalloc_*_save()/restore()\n   around apply_to_page_range();\n - Updates vmalloc.c and percpu allocator call sites accordingly."}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["include/linux/kasan.h","mm/kasan/shadow.c","mm/vmalloc.c"],"versions":[{"version":"451769ebb7e792c3404db53b3c2a422990de654e","lessThan":"33b95d90427cb4babf32059e323a6d0c027610fe","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"451769ebb7e792c3404db53b3c2a422990de654e","lessThan":"79357cd06d41d0f5a11b17d7c86176e395d10ef2","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["include/linux/kasan.h","mm/kasan/shadow.c","mm/vmalloc.c"],"versions":[{"version":"5.17","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"5.17","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.16.8","lessThanOrEqual":"6.16.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.17","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.17","versionEndExcluding":"6.16.8"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.17","versionEndExcluding":"6.17"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/33b95d90427cb4babf32059e323a6d0c027610fe"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/79357cd06d41d0f5a11b17d7c86176e395d10ef2"}],"title":"mm/vmalloc, mm/kasan: respect gfp mask in kasan_populate_vmalloc()","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}},"adp":[{"metrics":[{"cvssV3_1":{"scope":"UNCHANGED","version":"3.1","baseScore":5.5,"attackVector":"LOCAL","baseSeverity":"MEDIUM","vectorString":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","integrityImpact":"NONE","userInteraction":"NONE","attackComplexity":"LOW","availabilityImpact":"HIGH","privilegesRequired":"LOW","confidentialityImpact":"NONE"}},{"other":{"type":"ssvc","content":{"id":"CVE-2025-39910","role":"CISA Coordinator","options":[{"Exploitation":"none"},{"Automatable":"no"},{"Technical Impact":"partial"}],"version":"2.0.3","timestamp":"2026-01-14T17:42:43.252504Z"}}}],"problemTypes":[{"descriptions":[{"lang":"en","type":"CWE","cweId":"CWE-667","description":"CWE-667 Improper Locking"}]}],"title":"CISA ADP Vulnrichment","providerMetadata":{"orgId":"134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0","shortName":"CISA-ADP","dateUpdated":"2026-01-14T17:42:47.091Z"}}]}}
