Dear developers and maintainers,
We encountered a kernel warning in the function disksize_store during
testing using our modified syzkaller. It is tested against the latest
upstream linux (6.9-rc3). C repro and kernel config are attached to
this email. Kernel log is listed below.

We analyzed the root cause of this warning. Argument char *buf is a
user controlled string, which could be an arbitrary large number (in
this case is "18446744073709551615", which is -1 in unsigned long
long). Function memparse() in line 2018 calls simple_strtoull() to
convert this string into an unsigned long number, so that disksize
bypass the check in the next line. After the PAGE_ALIGN, disksize is
overflowed and turns to zero. disksize then be passed to
zram_meta_alloc(), causing a zero-size vmalloc.
One possible fix is to lift PAGE_ALIGN right after memparse(), so that
the check would not be bypassed.
