scsi: mpt3sas: Validate RAID configuration page length
This commit validates that the RAID configuration page length is large enough
to hold Mpi2RaidConfigurationPage0_t before allocating the buffer, and bounds
the element loop by the number of elements that fit in the allocated buffer.

[Severity: Medium]
Can this read uninitialized heap memory from config_page when ExtPageLength is
0x4000 or larger?
In mpt3sas_config_get_volume_handle(), config_page_sz is a 32-bit int computed
as le16_to_cpu(mpi_reply.ExtPageLength) * 4, which can reach up to 262140.
The new check only enforces a lower bound before calling kmalloc(), which
allocates uninitialized memory.
When mpt3sas_config_get_volume_handle() then calls _config_request(), the
size is truncated to u16 both in the parameter list and in mem.sz:
drivers/scsi/mpt3sas/mpt3sas_config.c:_config_request() {
...
static int
_config_request(struct MPT3SAS_ADAPTER *ioc, Mpi2ConfigRequest_t
*mpi_request, Mpi2ConfigReply_t *mpi_reply, int timeout,
void *config_page, u16 config_page_sz)
...
if (mpi_request->Header.PageLength)
mem.sz = mpi_request->Header.PageLength * 4;
else
mem.sz = le16_to_cpu(mpi_reply->ExtPageLength) * 4;
}
Inside _config_request(), only (u16)config_page_sz bytes of config_page are
zeroed with memset() and populated with memcpy().
If ExtPageLength is between 0x4000 and 0x400b, (u16)config_page_sz wraps to
between 0 and 44 bytes, so _config_request() never initializes
config_page->NumElements, config_page->ConfigElement[], or (when wrapped to
11 bytes or less) config_page->ConfigNum. Even for larger values where
ExtPageLength >= 0x400c, max_num_elements is computed from the untruncated
32-bit config_page_sz, allowing the loop to read ConfigElement[i] entries
beyond the (u16)config_page_sz bytes actually populated by _config_request().
Also, because _config_request() overwrites mpi_reply on each iteration of the
while (1) loop and recomputes mem.sz from the new mpi_reply.ExtPageLength on
the next pass, a smaller ExtPageLength on a subsequent iteration would copy
fewer bytes than the initial config_page_sz used for max_num_elements.
Should mpt3sas_config_get_volume_handle() also reject config_page_sz > U16_MAX
(or allocate with kzalloc()) so that config_page_sz cannot truncate when
passed to _config_request()?
