CVE-2026-80788

EUVD-2026-71431
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nvmet-tcp: Do not WARN on remotely-controlled oversized SGL allocations

When fuzzing the nvme target code, I tripped a kernel warning in
nvmet_tcp_map_data() because the length passed into the allocator is
controlled by the remote initiator.

A remote initiator that sends a command with an SGL claiming a huge
number, can create a scatterlist and iovec allocation of over 1 million
entries, which causes the backing kmalloc call to exceed MAX_PAGE_ORDER
and then the page allocator will trip on a WARN_ON_ONCE_GFP() message:

  WARNING: mm/page_alloc.c:5280 __alloc_frozen_pages_noprof
  Workqueue: nvmet_tcp_wq nvmet_tcp_io_work
  ...
  sgl_alloc_order
  nvmet_tcp_map_data
  nvmet_tcp_try_recv_pdu

As it's never good to trip a kernel warning remotely due to many systems
having panic-on-warn enabled, let's silence it by just add GFP_NOWARN to
the allocation flags.
