[PATCH V3 02/10] virtio_console: validate max_nr_ports before trying to use it

From: Jason Wang
Date: Tue Oct 19 2021 - 03:03:03 EST


We calculate nr_ports based on the max_nr_ports:

nr_queues = use_multiport(portdev) ? (nr_ports + 1) * 2 : 2;

If the device advertises a large max_nr_ports, we will end up with a
integer overflow. Fixing this by validating the max_nr_ports and fail
the probe for invalid max_nr_ports in this case.
