Well, the value is checked in kmalloc_slab. There is a discrepancy
though. While the page allocator enforces order < MAX_ORDER, slab
allocators enforce size <= KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE and

KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE is 1UL << (MAX_ORDER + PAGE_SHIFT) for SLUB which is
what I expect you have or 1UL << (MAX_ORDER + PAGE_SHIFT - 1) for SLAB
on most archs. This means that KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE might be MAX_ORDER for
SLUB which would explain your warning.

Let's CC Christoph, this is nothing really new, but I suspect that SLUB
should change the maximum size to something like SLAB does.

That being said, what ep_write_iter does sounds quite stupit. It just
allocates a large continuous buffer which seems to be under user
control... Aka no good! It should do that per pages or something like
that. Something worth fixing
