ppp_sync_ioctl allows setting device MRU, but does not sanity check
this input.
Limit to a sane upper bound of 64KB.
No implementation I could find generates larger than 64KB frames.
RFC 2823 mentions an upper bound of PPP over SDL of 64KB based on the
16-bit length field. Other protocols will be smaller, such as PPPoE
(9KB jumbo frame) and PPPoA (18190 maximum CPCS-SDU size, RFC 2364).
PPTP and L2TP encapsulate in IP.
Syzbot managed to trigger alloc warning in __alloc_pages:

Similar code exists in other drivers that implement ppp_channel_ops
ioctl PPPIOCSMRU. Those might also be in scope. Notably excluded from
this are pppol2tp_ioctl and pppoe_ioctl.
This code goes back to the start of git history.

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.
