[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.4 72/80] mm/page_owner: clamp read count to PAGE_SIZE

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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.
