This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

The number of pages comes directly from userspace.  Shifting a value
larger than ULONG_MAX >> PAGE_SHIFT discards its high bits before the
existing end-address check.  A request for a huge number of pages can
therefore be accepted and processed as a much smaller request.

Reject page counts that cannot be represented as a byte size before
performing the shift.

So far as ChatGPT and I can tell this doesn't cause an issue in practice
but preventing this integer overflow is the correct thing to do.
