A number of drivers call page_frag_alloc() with a fragment's size >
PAGE_SIZE.
In low memory conditions, __page_frag_cache_refill() may fail the order
3 cache allocation and fall back to order 0; In this case, the cache
will be smaller than the fragment, causing memory corruptions.
Prevent this from happening by checking if the newly allocated cache is
large enough for the fragment; if not, the allocation will fail and
page_frag_alloc() will return NULL.

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.
