[ Upstream commit 33e17b3f5ab74af12aca58c515bc8424ff69a343 ] The arg->clone_sources_count is u64 and can trigger a warning when a huge value is passed from user space and a huge array is allocated. Limit the allocated memory to 8MiB (can be increased if needed), which in turn limits the number of clone sources to 8M / sizeof(struct clone_root) = 8M / 40 = 209715. Real world number of clones is from tens to hundreds, so this is future proof.

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.
