Hello Thank you for the information.
I tried to search the macro of INT_MAX.
include/vdso/limits.h
#define INT_MAX ((int)(~0U >> 1))
AFAIK the dma-buf system heap user can request that huge size more than 2GB. So
I think totalram_pages() is better than INT_MAX in this case.

Sorry maybe I'm not fully understand what you meant. User may requested
a huge size like 3GB on 2GB ram device. But I think that should be rejected
because it is bigger than the device ram size.
