Michal Hocko 7984c27c2c bpf: do not use KMALLOC_SHIFT_MAX
Commit 01b3f52157 ("bpf: fix allocation warnings in bpf maps and
integer overflow") has added checks for the maximum allocateable size.
It (ab)used KMALLOC_SHIFT_MAX for that purpose.

While this is not incorrect it is not very clean because we already have
KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE for this very reason so let's change both checks to use
KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE instead.

The original motivation for using KMALLOC_SHIFT_MAX was to work around
an incorrect KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE which could lead to allocation warnings
but it is no longer needed since "slab: make sure that KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE
will fit into MAX_ORDER".

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
