Hey,
  Thanks so much for sending this out! Looks reasonable to me, the
only issue is the commit subject line could be a bit better.

Maybe instead:
  "dma-buf/heaps: system_heap: Avoid DoS by limiting single
allocations to half of all memory"

Otherwise,
Acked-by: John Stultz <jstultz@google.com>

thanks
