From: Miles Chen <miles.chen@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit c8f61cfc871fadfb73ad3eacd64fda457279e911 ] The (root-only) page owner read might allocate a large size of memory with a large read count. Allocation fails can easily occur when doing high order allocations. Clamp buffer size to PAGE_SIZE to avoid arbitrary size allocation and avoid allocation fails due to high order allocation.
