In mm/util.c kvmalloc_node(), we have

/* Don't even allow crazy sizes */
if (unlikely(size > INT_MAX)) {
WARN_ON_ONCE(!(flags & __GFP_NOWARN));
return NULL;
}

Basically the maximum size to be allocated in INT_MAX.

Here, we have 'size' as u32, which means if the size is 0xffff0000,
the check_mul_overflow will return false (no overflow) but
kvzalloc will still have a warning.

I think we should change the type of 'size' to be 'int' which
should catch the above case and be consistent with
what kvmalloc_node() intends to warn.

Huh, it's a bitmore complicated as check_mul_overflow requires types to
match; what do you think about

+ if (check_mul_overflow(cnt, (u32)sizeof(*syms), &size) || size > INT_MAX)

?

This works for me.
