The overflow happens because there's no upper limit for nentries
(userspace input). Let me add more context, e.g. from net/xdp/xsk.c:

static int xsk_setsockopt(struct socket *sock, int level, int optname,
                          sockptr_t optval, unsigned int optlen)
{
[...]
                if (copy_from_sockptr(&entries, optval, sizeof(entries)))
                        return -EFAULT;
[...]
                err = xsk_init_queue(entries, q, false);
[...]
}

'entries' is passed to xsk_init_queue() and there're 2 checks: for 0
and is_power_of_2() only, no upper bound check:

static int xsk_init_queue(u32 entries, struct xsk_queue **queue,
                          bool umem_queue)
{
        struct xsk_queue *q;

        if (entries == 0 || *queue || !is_power_of_2(entries))
                return -EINVAL;

        q = xskq_create(entries, umem_queue);
        if (!q)
                return -ENOMEM;
[...]
}

The 'entries' value is next passed to struct_size() in
net/xdp/xsk_queue.c. If it's large enough - SIZE_MAX will be returned.

I'm not sure if some appropriate limit for the size of XDP_RX_RING /
XDP_TX_RING and XDP_UMEM_FILL_RING / XDP_UMEM_COMPLETION_RING rings
should be used. But anyway, vmalloc() will tell if it's not ok with
the requested allocation size.
