[PATCH] qed: fcoe: limit command queue array fill to the ramrod array size

[Pengpeng Hou]

qed_sp_fcoe_func_start() validates fcoe_pf_params->num_cqs against the
number of command queues exposed by the hardware resource table, but it
then uses that count to fill q_params.cq_cmdq_sb_num_arr[] in the FCoE
init ramrod. That array is fixed at SCSI_MAX_NUM_OF_CMDQS entries.

The in-tree qedf caller derives num_cqs from the device's reported
num_cqs and the online CPU count, so current-tree callers can request
more queues than fit in the fixed ramrod array on sufficiently large
systems even though the existing hardware-resource check passes.

Reject queue counts that exceed the command queue array capacity before
filling the ramrod.

Hi,

The code immediately above checks fcoe_pf_params->num_cqs
against p_hwfn->hw_info.feat_num[QED_FCOE_CQ], which I assume
is derived from hardware.

Is that sufficient to avoid the OOB access you describe?
