Subject: [PATCH v2] io_uring: drop overflowing CQE instead of exceeding memory limits
Date: Tue, 30 Dec 2025 19:57:28 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251230190909.557152-1-alexandre@negrel.dev> (raw)

Allocate the overflowing CQE with GFP_NOWAIT instead of GFP_ATOMIC. This
changes causes allocations to fail in out-of-memory situations,
resulting in CQE being dropped. Using GFP_ATOMIC allows a process to
exceed memory limits.

Closes: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=220794
