ppp_sync_ioctl allows setting device MRU, but does not sanity check this input.
Limit to a sane upper bound of 64KB.
No implementation I could find generates larger than 64KB frames. RFC 2823 mentions an upper bound of PPP over SDL of 64KB based on the 16-bit length field. Other protocols will be smaller, such as PPPoE (9KB jumbo frame) and PPPoA (18190 maximum CPCS-SDU size, RFC 2364). PPTP and L2TP encapsulate in IP.
Syzbot managed to trigger alloc warning in __alloc_pages:

With call
ioctl$PPPIOCSMRU1(r1, 0x40047452, &(0x7f0000000100)=0x5e6417a8)
Similar code exists in other drivers that implement ppp_channel_ops ioctl PPPIOCSMRU. Those might also be in scope. Notably excluded from this are pppol2tp_ioctl and pppoe_ioctl.
This code goes back to the start of git history.
