Oops, looks like I missed when that one was submitted for review...
A fb_ioctl() FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO call with invalid xres setting or yres setting in struct fb_var_screeninfo will result in a KASAN: vmalloc-out-of-bounds failure in bitfill_aligned() as the margins are being cleared. The margins are cleared in chunks and if the xres setting or yres setting is a value of zero upto the chunk size, the failure will occur. Add a margin check to validate xres and yres settings.
Shouldn't (the caller of) bitfill_aligned() be fixed instead? Can this be triggered by e.g. using the mini_4x6 font?

Are you sure there don't exist such small displays (e.g. OLED)?
