[PATCH rdma-next 2/2] RDMA/core: Don't warn on oversized bundle allocations

[Edward Srouji <edwards@nvidia.com>]

From: Uri Dar <udar@nvidia.com>

_uverbs_alloc() serves requests that do not fit in the bundle's internal
buffer from kvmalloc(), prepending a small list header. The requested
size can be derived from userspace input, and since commit 7661809d493b
("mm: don't allow oversized kvmalloc() calls") kvmalloc() WARNs on any
request above INT_MAX unless __GFP_NOWARN is given.

mlx5 DEVX UMEM registration is one such caller: its CREATE_UMEM mailbox
scales with the size of the user's UMEM, and a mailbox that passes the
driver's INT_MAX check can still exceed INT_MAX once the header is
added.

As with memdup_user(), an allocation sized by userspace should fail
quietly rather than warn. Pass __GFP_NOWARN so such requests fail with
-ENOMEM.
