In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

lib/test_hmm.c: handle src_pfns and dst_pfns allocation failure

The kcalloc() in dmirror_device_evict_chunk() will return null if the
physical memory has run out.  As a result, if src_pfns or dst_pfns is
dereferenced, the null pointer dereference bug will happen.

Moreover, the device is going away.  If the kcalloc() fails, the pages
mapping a chunk could not be evicted.  So add a __GFP_NOFAIL flag in
kcalloc().
