Following warning is sometimes observed while booting my servers: [ 3.594838] DMA: preallocated 4096 KiB GFP_KERNEL pool for atomic allocations [ 3.602918] swapper/0: page allocation failure: order:10, mode:0xcc1(GFP_KERNEL|GFP_DMA), nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0-1 ... [ 3.851862] DMA: preallocated 1024 KiB GFP_KERNEL|GFP_DMA pool for atomic allocation If 'nokaslr' boot option is set, the warning always happens. On x86, ZONE_DMA is small zone at the first 16MB of physical address space. When this problem happens, most of that space seems to be used by decompressed kernel. Thereby, there is not enough space at DMA_ZONE to meet the request of DMA pool allocation. The commit 2f77465b ("x86/efistub: Avoid placing the kernel below LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR") tried to fix this problem by introducing lower bound of allocation. But the fix is not complete. efi_random_alloc() allocates pages by following steps. 1. Count total available slots ('total_slots') 2. Select a slot ('target_slot') to allocate randomly 3. Calculate a starting address ('target') to be included target_slot 4. Allocate pages, which starting address is 'target' In step 1, 'alloc_min' is used to offset the starting address of memory chunk. But in step 3 'alloc_min' is not considered at all. As the result, 'target' can be miscalculated and become lower than 'alloc_min'. When KASLR is disabled, 'target_slot' is always 0 and the problem happens everytime if the EFI memory map of the system meets the condition. Fix this problem by calculating 'target' considering 'alloc_min'.
