David sent a fix today which I believe will address this.


From: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com>
Subject: kernel/relay.c: limit kmalloc size to KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE

chan->n_subbufs is set by the user and relay_create_buf() does a kmalloc()
of chan->n_subbufs * sizeof(size_t *).

kmalloc_slab() will generate a warning when this fails if
chan->subbufs * sizeof(size_t *) > KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE.

Limit chan->n_subbufs to the maximum allowed kmalloc() size.
