4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Tetsuo Handa <[email protected]> commit 4458bba09788e70e8fb39ad003f087cd9dfbd6ac upstream. syzbot is hitting warning at str_read() [1] because len parameter can become larger than KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE. We don't need to emit warning for this case.
