Thanks.  drivers/md/raid10.c lacks some sanity checking.

In setup_conf():

	/* FIXME calc properly */
	conf->mirrors = kzalloc_objs(struct raid10_info,
				     mddev->raid_disks + max(0, -mddev->delta_disks));

passed a crazy large number into kzalloc_objs(), causing
__alloc_frozen_pages_noprof() to hit

	if (WARN_ON_ONCE_GFP(order > MAX_PAGE_ORDER, gfp))
		return NULL;
