Vasily Averin fc37a3b8b4 ipc sem: use kvmalloc for sem_undo allocation 
Patch series "ipc: allocations cleanup", v2.

Some ipc objects use the wrong allocation functions: small objects can use
kmalloc(), and vice versa, potentially large objects can use kmalloc().

This patch (of 2):

Size of sem_undo can exceed one page and with the maximum possible nsems =
32000 it can grow up to 64Kb.  Let's switch its allocation to kvmalloc to
avoid user-triggered disruptive actions like OOM killer in case of
high-order memory shortage.

User triggerable high order allocations are quite a problem on heavily
fragmented systems.  They can be a DoS vector.

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.
