FYI, I hit this problem a few days ago with the nfp network driver, it uses
page_frag_alloc() with a frag size larger than PAGE_SIZE when MTU is
set to 9000,
this may result in memory corruptions when the system runs out of memory.

The solution I was working on was something like the following, this
makes the allocation
fail if fragsz is greater than the cache size.
