Wen Yang 06b919a517 pvcalls-front: Avoid get_free_pages(GFP_KERNEL) under spinlock
[ Upstream commit 9f51c05dc4 ]

The problem is that we call this with a spin lock held.
The call tree is:
pvcalls_front_accept() holds bedata->socket_lock.
    -> create_active()
        -> __get_free_pages() uses GFP_KERNEL

The create_active() function is only called from pvcalls_front_accept()
with a spin_lock held, The allocation is not allowed to sleep and
GFP_KERNEL is not sufficient.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

v2: Add a function doing the allocations which is called
    outside the lock and passing the allocated data to
    create_active().

v3: Use the matching deallocators i.e., free_page()
    and free_pages(), respectively.

v4: It would be better to pre-populate map (struct sock_mapping),
    rather than introducing one more new struct.

v5: Since allocating the data outside of this call it should also
    be freed outside, when create_active() fails.
    Move kzalloc(sizeof(*map2), GFP_ATOMIC) outside spinlock and
    use GFP_KERNEL instead.

v6: Drop the superfluous calls.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
