RDMA/mlx5: Clamp log_max_cq_sz shift in CQ size checks
This commit replaces the 32-bit shift of log_max_cq_sz with
MLX5_CAP_GEN_LOGSZ_U64(), rounds up the requested CQ entry count using 64-bit
arithmetic, and rejects rounded-up entry counts above INT_MAX in the CQ create
and resize paths.

[Severity: High]
When an untrusted NIC reports log_max_cq_sz >= 24, bounding the rounded-up
entry count only by INT_MAX allows power-of-two values of entries from 2^24
up to 2^30 to reach the downstream buffer size calculations. Can those 32-bit
multiplications by cqe_size still overflow?
In mlx5_ib_create_user_cq() -> create_cq_user(), entries (int) is multiplied
by ucmd.cqe_size (__u32, validated as 64 or 128) in 32-bit unsigned
arithmetic before widening to size_t:
drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/cq.c:create_cq_user() {
...
cq->buf.umem = ib_umem_get_cq_buf_or_va(&dev->ib_dev, attrs,
ucmd.buf_addr,
entries * ucmd.cqe_size,
IB_ACCESS_LOCAL_WRITE);
...
}
For entries in 2^25..2^30 with ucmd.cqe_size == 128 (or 2^26..2^30 with
ucmd.cqe_size == 64), entries * ucmd.cqe_size wraps to 0, which lets a
1-page user buffer pass the min_size check in ib_umem_get_desc_check() while
programming log_cq_size = 25..30 in the CQ context.
Similarly, in mlx5_ib_create_cq() -> create_cq_kernel() ->
alloc_cq_frag_buf() and mlx5_ib_resize_cq() -> resize_kernel() ->
alloc_cq_frag_buf(), nent * cqe_size is evaluated as a signed 32-bit int and
passed as int size to mlx5_frag_buf_alloc_node():
drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/cq.c:alloc_cq_frag_buf() {
...
err = mlx5_frag_buf_alloc_node(dev->mdev,
nent * cqe_size,
frag_buf,
dev->mdev->priv.numa_node);
...
}
For nent == 2^24 (with cqe_size == 128) or nent == 2^25 (with cqe_size == 64),
nent * cqe_size overflows to INT_MIN, and for nent >= 2^25 (cqe_size == 128)
or nent >= 2^26 (cqe_size == 64), it wraps to 0. When size is 0,
mlx5_frag_buf_alloc_node() sets frag_buf->frags = ZERO_SIZE_PTR and returns 0,
and init_cq_frag_buf() then dereferences ZERO_SIZE_PTR when iterating over
buf->nent:
drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/cq.c:init_cq_frag_buf() {
for (i = 0; i < buf->nent; i++) {
cqe = mlx5_frag_buf_get_wqe(&buf->fbc, i);
cqe64 = buf->cqe_size == 64 ? cqe : cqe + 64;
cqe64->op_own = MLX5_CQE_INVALID << 4;
}
}
Would it make sense to cap entries so that entries * cqe_size cannot overflow
int (or use check_mul_overflow() in create_cq_user() and alloc_cq_frag_buf())?
