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

mm/slab: return NULL early from kmalloc_nolock() in NMI on UP

On UP kernels (!CONFIG_SMP), spin_trylock() is a no-op that
unconditionally succeeds even when the lock is already held. As a
result, kmalloc_nolock() called from NMI context can re-enter the slab
allocator and acquire n->list_lock that the interrupted context is
already holding, corrupting slab state.

With CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK on UP, the following BUG is triggered with
the slub_kunit test module:

BUG: spinlock trylock failure on UP on CPU#0, kunit_try_catch/243
[...]
Call Trace:

Fix this by returning NULL early when invoked from NMI on a UP kernel.
