Subject: Re: [PATCH] md/raid0: use kvzalloc/kvfree for strip_zone and devlist allocations

> syzbot reported a WARNING at mm/page_alloc.c:__alloc_frozen_pages_noprof()
> triggered by create_strip_zones() in the RAID0 driver.
>
> When raid_disks is large, the allocation size exceeds MAX_PAGE_ORDER (4MB
> on x86), causing WARN_ON_ONCE_GFP(order > MAX_PAGE_ORDER).
>
> Convert the strip_zone and devlist allocations from kzalloc/kzalloc_objs to
> kvzalloc/kvzalloc_objs, which first attempts a contiguous allocation with
> __GFP_NOWARN and then falls back to vmalloc for large sizes. Convert the
> corresponding kfree calls to kvfree.
>
> Both arrays are pure metadata lookup tables (arrays of pointers and zone
> descriptors) accessed only via indexing, so they do not require physically
> contiguous memory.
