Subject: [PATCH v2] vduse: Validate vq_num in vduse_validate_config()

Add a limit to 'config->vq_num' which is user controlled data which
comes from an vduse_ioctl to prevent large memory allocations.

This is found using static analysis with smatch.

Suggested-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <[email protected]>

v1->v2: Change title of the commit and description, add a limit to
vq_num.

Note: I think here 0xffff is the max size of vring = no: of vqueues.
Only compile and boot tested.

What about using U16_MAX here?

I thought vq_num referred to the number of elements in the vq (like
.get_vq_num_max), since this patch wants to limit to 0xffff.

But it actually refers to the number of virtqueue, so @Harshit why do we
limit it to 0xffff?

Maybe we should explain it in the commit message or in a comment.

Thanks,
Stefano

Where is the ->vq_num stored in a u16? I looked for this but didn't
see it.

Hi Stefano,

I may be incorrect about the details of this driver, my v1 was purely
based on static analysis, Micheal suggested me to put a limit of 0xffff
on vq_num. I really don't know about the driver, while I was searching
other parts of code, I thought 0xffff is based vring size, I have asked
the same question on v1 today.

Ref to v1:

yeah, we should clarify the limit in commit message, once Micheal shares
about the limit '0xffff), I will add those details and send a next
version if that's okay.

This limit is somewhat arbitrary.
However, currently virtio pci and ccw are limited to a 16 bit vq number.
While MMIO isn't it is also isn't used with lots of VQs due to
current lack of support for per-vq interrupts.
Thus, the 0xffff limit on number of VQs corresponding
to a 16-bit VQ number seems sufficient for now.

Feel free to put the above in a code comment.
