3.2.85-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 32b2921e6a7461fe63b71217067a6cf4bddb132f upstream. Size of kmalloc() in vc_do_resize() is controlled by user. Too large kmalloc() size triggers WARNING message on console. Put a reasonable upper bound on terminal size to prevent WARNINGs.
