SubjectRe: [PATCH] mm: prevent page_frag_alloc() from corrupting the memory
Tested with this kernel module:

http://bsdbackstore.eu/misc/oomk/

It requires 2 parameters: the first one is the amount of memory you
want to allocate with page_frag_alloc(), the second one is the size of
the fragment
I tested it on a machine with ~7Gb of free memory.

Without the patch:
-------------------------------------------------
3Gb of memory will be used with frag size = 1024 byte. No issue:

#insmod oomk.ko memory_size_gb=3 fragsize=1024

[ 177.875107] Test begins, memory size = 3 fragsize = 1024
[ 177.974538] Test completed!

10 Gb of memory, 1024 byte frag. page allocation failure but the
kernel handles it and doesn't crash:

#insmod oomk.ko memory_size_gb=10 fragsize=1024
