Hi Ruidong,

I couldn't reproduce this exact issue with the error message in the
commit message. Is it not another manifestation related to this change
[1]? I don't actually get any error message, but I was able to get a
warning in dmesg even with [1] applied.

Does the overflow not result in a successful session but with the wrong
buffer size?

I think the change makes sense, but maybe we also need a check for
MAX_ORDER because I can trigger the same WARN_ON from [1]. Or maybe I'm
a bit confused because of the other change and not being able to
reproduce this exactly coming at the same time.
