Description

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

usb: cdns3: fix random warning message when driver load

Warning log:

{
...
page = kmalloc(sizeof(*page), mem_flags);
page->vaddr = dma_alloc_coherent(pool->dev, pool->allocation,
&page->dma, mem_flags);
...
}

kmalloc was called with mem_flags, which is passed down in
cdns3_allocate_trb_pool() and have GFP_DMA32 flags.
kmall_fix_flags() report warning.

GFP_DMA32 is not useful at all. dma_alloc_coherent() will handle
DMA memory region correctly by pool->dev. GFP_DMA32 can be removed
safely.
