> devx_umem_reg_cmd_alloc() stores the CREATE_UMEM mailbox size, a header
> plus 8 bytes per MTT, in the u32 cmd->inlen. The number of MTTs is
> derived from the user-supplied length and pgsz_bitmap, so a UMEM of about
> 2TB registered with 4KB pages wraps the size, the mailbox is
> under-allocated and mlx5_ib_populate_pas() writes past its end.
>
> Compute the size with the saturating size_mul() and size_add() helpers
> and reject a UMEM whose mailbox exceeds INT_MAX, the largest in_size
> mlx5_cmd_exec() accepts.
>
> Mailbox sizes within 512 bytes of INT_MAX still overflow the block count
> in mlx5_calc_cmd_blocks(), but the command then fails with -ENOMEM
> before reaching firmware. This predates the change.
