Subject: [PATCH v4] mm/page_owner: clamp read count to PAGE_SIZE
Date:   Fri, 2 Nov 2018 01:00:07 +0800

From: Miles Chen <miles.chen@mediatek.com>

The 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.

Change since v3:
  - remove the change in kvmalloc
  - keep kmalloc in page_owner.c

Change since v2:
  - improve kvmalloc, allow sub page allocations fallback to
    vmalloc when CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y

Change since v1:
  - use kvmalloc()
  - clamp buffer size to PAGE_SIZE
