vfs: cap dedupe request structure size at PAGE_SIZE
Kirill A Shutemov reports that the kernel doesn't try to cap dest_count in any way, and uses the number to allocate kernel memory. This causes high order allocation warnings in the kernel log if someone passes in a big enough value. We should clamp the allocation at PAGE_SIZE to avoid stressing the VM. The two existing users of the dedupe ioctl never send more than 120 requests, so we can safely clamp dest_range at PAGE_SIZE, because with 4k pages we can handle up to 127 dedupe candidates. Given the max extent length of 16MB, we can end up doing 2GB of IO which is plenty. [ Note: the "offsetof()" can't overflow, because 'count' is just a 16-bit integer. That's not obvious in the limited context of the patch, so I'm noting it here because it made me go look. - Linus ] Reported-by:"Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill@shutemov.name> Signed-off-by:
