---Additional Hardware Info---
Embedded ARM with FPGA
---uname output---
Linux cuttlefisharm1 5.4.0-xilinx-v2020.2 #1 SMP Thu Nov 18 18:44:45 UTC 2021

---Steps to Reproduce---
Boot the system. Try dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ram0 bs=... count=...
A small ramdisk works and gives the expected error when trying to write 8G of
data into an 8M ramdisk.
