As reported by Dipanjan Das, when KMSAN is used together with kernel fault
injection (or, generally, even without the latter), calls to kcalloc() or
__vmap_pages_range_noflush() may fail, leaving the metadata mappings for
the virtual mapping in an inconsistent state. When these metadata
mappings are accessed later, the kernel crashes.
To address the problem, we return a non-zero error code from
kmsan_vmap_pages_range_noflush() in the case of any allocation/mapping
failure inside it, and make vmap_pages_range_noflush() return an error if
KMSAN fails to allocate the metadata.
This patch also removes KMSAN_WARN_ON() from vmap_pages_range_noflush(),
as these allocation failures are not fatal anymore.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
