[PATCH net-next v4 12/15] ocfs2: Fix use of slab data with sendpage

From: David Howells
Date: Fri Jun 23 2023 - 07:46:32 EST


ocfs2 uses kzalloc() to allocate buffers for for o2net_hand, o2net_keep_req
and o2net_keep_resp and then passes these to sendpage. This isn't really
allowed as the lifetime of slab objects is not controlled by page ref -
though in this case it will probably work. sendmsg() with MSG_SPLICE_PAGES
will, however, print a warning and give an error.

Fix it to use folio_alloc() instead to allocate a buffer for the handshake
message, keepalive request and reply messages.
