Bit confused, given that in array map, we try kzalloc() with __GFP_NOWARN already
and if that fails, we fall back to vzalloc(), it shouldn't trigger memory allocation
warnings here ...

Then, integer overflow in elem_size with round_up(attr->value_size, 8) could only
result in 0, which is already tested below.

... and this change seems to be needed for the integer overflow in map.pages?

So if the first check above intends to check for some size overflow (?), how is it
then related to KMALLOC_SHIFT_MAX?

Thanks,
