    mm, page_alloc: check for max order in hot path · c63ae43b
    Michal Hocko authored
    Konstantin has noticed that kvmalloc might trigger the following
    warning:

    the problem is that we only check for an out of bound order in the slow
    path and the node reclaim might happen from the fast path already.  This
    is fixable by making sure that kvmalloc doesn't ever use kmalloc for
    requests that are larger than KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE but this also shows that
    the code is rather fragile.  A recent UBSAN report just underlines that
    by the following report

    Note that this is not a kvmalloc path.  It is just that the fast path
    really depends on having sanitzed order as well.  Therefore move the
    order check to the fast path.
