[ Upstream commit 92a8109e4d3a34fb6b115c9098b51767dc933444 ] The code tries to allocate a contiguous buffer with a size supplied by the server (maxBuf). This could fail if memory is fragmented since it results in high order allocations for commonly used server implementations. It is also wasteful since there are probably few locks in the usual case. Limit the buffer to be no larger than a page to avoid memory allocation failures due to fragmentation.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
