commit 8d0015a7ab upstream.
The user-specified hashtable size is unbound, this could
easily lead to an OOM or a hung task as we hold the global
mutex while allocating and initializing the new hashtable.
Add a max value to cap both cfg->size and cfg->max, as
suggested by Florian.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
