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 ]
