In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

udmabuf: change folios array from kmalloc to kvmalloc

When PAGE_SIZE 4096, MAX_PAGE_ORDER 10, 64bit machine, page_alloc only support 4MB. If above this, trigger this warn and return NULL.

udmabuf can change size limit, if change it to 3072(3GB), and then alloc 3GB udmabuf, will fail create.

Because MAX_PAGE_ORDER, kmalloc can max alloc 4096 * (1 << 10), 4MB memory, each array entry is pointer(8byte), so can save 524288 pages(2GB).

Further more, costly order(order 3) may not be guaranteed that it can be applied for, due to fragmentation.

This patch change udmabuf array use kvmalloc_array, this can fallback alloc into vmalloc, which can guarantee allocation for any size and does not affect the performance of kmalloc allocations.
