Linux kernel source tree
fc6f716a50
The hardware provides the indexes of the first and the last available
queue and VF. From the indexes, the driver calculates the numbers of
queues and VFs. In theory, a faulty device might say the last index is
smaller than the first index. In that case, the driver's calculation
would underflow, it would attempt to write to non-existent registers
outside of the ioremapped range and crash.
I ran into this not by having a faulty device, but by an operator error.
I accidentally ran a QE test meant for i40e devices on an ice device.
The test used 'echo i40e > /sys/...ice PCI device.../driver_override',
bound the driver to the device and crashed in one of the wr32 calls in
i40e_clear_hw.
Add checks to prevent underflows in the calculations of num_queues and
num_vfs. With this fix, the wrong device probing reports errors and
returns a failure without crashing.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
