A review of the code showed, that this function which is exposed within the whole kernel should do a parameter check for the amount of bytes requested. If this requested bytes is too high an unsigned int overflow could happen causing this function to try to memcpy a really big memory chunk. This is not a security issue as there are only two invocations of this function from arch/s390/include/asm/archrandom.h and both are not exposed to userland.
