mm, page_alloc: check for max order in hot path

Konstantin has noticed that kvmalloc might trigger the following warning: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 6676 at mm/vmstat.c:986 __fragmentation_index+0x54/0x60 [...] Call Trace: fragmentation_index+0x76/0x90 compaction_suitable+0x4f/0xf0 shrink_node+0x295/0x310 node_reclaim+0x205/0x250 get_page_from_freelist+0x649/0xad0 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x12a/0x2a0 kmalloc_large_node+0x47/0x90 __kmalloc_node+0x22b/0x2e0 kvmalloc_node+0x3e/0x70 xt_alloc_table_info+0x3a/0x80 [x_tables] do_ip6t_set_ctl+0xcd/0x1c0 [ip6_tables] nf_setsockopt+0x44/0x60 SyS_setsockopt+0x6f/0xc0 do_syscall_64+0x67/0x120 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x3d/0xa2 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 UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in mm/page_alloc.c:3117:19 shift exponent 51 is too large for 32-bit type 'int' CPU: 0 PID: 6520 Comm: syz-executor1 Not tainted 4.19.0-rc2 #1 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS Bochs 01/01/2011 Call Trace: __dump_stack lib/dump_stack.c:77 [inline] dump_stack+0xd2/0x148 lib/dump_stack.c:113 ubsan_epilogue+0x12/0x94 lib/ubsan.c:159 __ubsan_handle_shift_out_of_bounds+0x2b6/0x30b lib/ubsan.c:425 __zone_watermark_ok+0x2c7/0x400 mm/page_alloc.c:3117 zone_watermark_fast mm/page_alloc.c:3216 [inline] get_page_from_freelist+0xc49/0x44c0 mm/page_alloc.c:3300 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x21e/0x640 mm/page_alloc.c:4370 alloc_pages_current+0xcc/0x210 mm/mempolicy.c:2093 alloc_pages include/linux/gfp.h:509 [inline] __get_free_pages+0x12/0x60 mm/page_alloc.c:4414 dma_mem_alloc+0x36/0x50 arch/x86/include/asm/floppy.h:156 raw_cmd_copyin drivers/block/floppy.c:3159 [inline] raw_cmd_ioctl drivers/block/floppy.c:3206 [inline] fd_locked_ioctl+0xa00/0x2c10 drivers/block/floppy.c:3544 fd_ioctl+0x40/0x60 drivers/block/floppy.c:3571 __blkdev_driver_ioctl block/ioctl.c:303 [inline] blkdev_ioctl+0xb3c/0x1a30 block/ioctl.c:601 block_ioctl+0x105/0x150 fs/block_dev.c:1883 vfs_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:46 [inline] do_vfs_ioctl+0x1c0/0x1150 fs/ioctl.c:687 ksys_ioctl+0x9e/0xb0 fs/ioctl.c:702 __do_sys_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:709 [inline] __se_sys_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:707 [inline] __x64_sys_ioctl+0x7e/0xc0 fs/ioctl.c:707 do_syscall_64+0xc4/0x510 arch/x86/entry/common.c:290 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe 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.
