I don't think it's the problem of our M_WAITOK implementation. You could change the caller to use other kmalloc flag so that the system will not panic; how to properly handle kmalloc failure in this case may be difficult.
I realize this. However, we should avoid panicing if possible. So why not print a warning ("allocated more than the limit") and continue? If nothing happens, great! If we run out of memory, we still can panic later.
