queue_size + queue_page_size=0x8000d8, where KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE=0x400000.

As this is controllable by userspace, you just provided a way to flood
the kernel logs.

Please make this a dev_dbg() call instead, if you really want to see it.
Otherwise just return NULL, no need to report anything, right?
Thanks, removed pr_warn().
Looks like you forgot to take out the opening brace.


v2: Removed pr_warn() to avoid flood from user-space
