mtdchar_write_ioctl() calls kmalloc() with the 'size' argument set to the smaller of two values: the write request's data/OOB length provided by user space and the erase block size of the MTD device. If the latter is large, kmalloc() may not be able to serve such allocation requests. Use kvmalloc() instead. Correspondingly, replace kfree() calls with kvfree() calls.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
