Hello,

This patch series contains following updates to the refscale code (rebased
on v6.16-rc3):

From: Artem Sadovnikov <a.sadovnikov@ispras.ru>

The nreaders and loops variables are exposed as module parameters, which,
in certain combinations, can lead to multiplication overflow.

Besides, loops parameter is defined as long, while through the code is
used as int, which can cause truncation on 64-bit kernels and possible
zeroes where they shouldn't appear.

Since code uses result of multiplication as int anyway, it only makes sense
to replace loops with int. Multiplication overflow check is also added
due to possible multiplication between two very big numbers.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
