commit2717769e20upstream. The code in vc_do_resize() bounds the memory allocation size to avoid exceeding MAX_ORDER down the kzalloc() call chain and generating a runtime warning triggerable from user space. However, not only is it unwise to use a literal value here, but MAX_ORDER may also be configurable based on CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER. Let's use KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE instead. Note that prior commitbb1107f7c6("mm, slab: make sure that KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE will fit into MAX_ORDER") the KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE value could not be relied upon.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
