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

[Pengpeng Hou <pengpeng@iscas.ac.cn>]

Hi,

No, I do not think the existing feat_num-based check is sufficient here.

That check only verifies that num_queues does not exceed the iSCSI CQ
resources reported by the hardware:

    p_params->num_queues <= p_hwfn->hw_info.feat_num[QED_ISCSI_CQ]

But the ramrod field being filled afterwards is a fixed-size array:

    cq_cmdq_sb_num_arr[SCSI_MAX_NUM_OF_CMDQS]

and SCSI_MAX_NUM_OF_CMDQS is 64 in the current tree.

The in-tree qedi caller derives num_queues from the device-reported CQ
count and the online CPU count:

    dev_info.num_cqs = FEAT_NUM(hwfn, QED_ISCSI_CQ)
    num_queues = min(dev_info.num_cqs, num_online_cpus())

So the existing resource check and the ramrod array capacity are not the
same bound. If the hardware reports more than 64 iSCSI CQs, current-tree
callers can still pass a num_queues value that satisfies the feat_num
check but exceeds ARRAY_SIZE(cq_cmdq_sb_num_arr).

I can resend with this clarified in the commit message.

Best regards,
Pengpeng
